How to Apply for the A&I Fellowship

There are four positions available each year in the the Allergy & Immunology (A&I) Fellowship Program. Candidates are required to apply through Electronic Residencies Application Service (ERAS) and are selected through the National Residency Matching Program. The length of the fellowship program is three years; however, fellows may continue their research activities for one or more additional years.

  • My ERAS application
  • Three letters of recommendation
  • Personal statement
  • Medical school transcript
  • Medical student performance evaluation/Dean’s letter
  • USMLE or COMPLEX transcript
  • ECFMG status report (for international medical graduates only)

Interviews are typically scheduled between August and November.
