How to Apply

Candidates for an interventional pulmonology fellowship should be board-certified or -eligible in pulmonary medicine, and have completed an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accredited pulmonary fellowship.

Application deadline

We use the application system devised by the Association of Interventional Pulmonary Program Directors. 

To apply, please visit the Interventional Pulmonology Fellowship Application System (IPFAS) website.

Interview process

To ensure a uniform interview process that is equitable to all applicants, our fellowship interviews will be held exclusively virtually. We will offer in-person site visits, but only after our rank list has been certified. Your interview day will be comprised of program overview, a virtual tour of the hospital and facilities, and interviews with faculty members.

Fellowships begin on July 1 of each year.

Position availability

• 1 fellow is selected annually.

Please include with your IPFAS application:

• Curriculum vitae
• Medical school transcript
• Minimum 3 letters of recommendation
• Personal statement
• Official record of board scores (United States Medical Licensing Examination [USMLE] or Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination [COMLEX] results).

We welcome applications from all qualified individuals without regard to gender, ethnic background, religious affiliation, or marital status.

Requirements for non-US citizen applicants

You must have a currently valid certificate from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) to be eligible for application to a GME-accredited clinical training program.

In addition, the New Hampshire Board of Medicine requires the applicant to have successfully passed USMLE Steps 1 and 2, or National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) Parts 1 and 2, or have obtained ECFMG certification in order to apply for a training license.

In order to participate in an accredited GME clinical training program at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, foreign national physicians must seek ECFMG sponsorship as a J-1 exchange visitor.

Candidates who have graduated, or are expected to graduate, in good standing from a US medical or osteopathic school, presently on an F-1 visa, will be considered for H-1B status. The program may also consider candidates who are presently holding H-1B visas from other training programs. Each training program will apply certain program-specific criteria for screening of H-1B applicants. The program then will present these candidates to the GME office.

All fees related to obtaining appropriate visa status including USMLE or other examinations, credentialing, licensure, and or legal fees are the full responsibility of the applicant.
