Making a List and Checking it Twice: The Fellowship Match Checklist

The 2018-9 Fellowship Match process is heating up. The NRMP recently posted a brief but useful fellowship match check list with links to important dates for all fellowship matches.

As many of you may know, the range of time frames varies tremendously among the different fields - from abdominal transplant surgery (now) to adolescent medicine (autumn) - so it's worth taking a look at this information even if you just matched for residency, believe it or not.

About Me

Please see Insider Medical Admissions for the full array of personalized services I offer to clients applying to medical school, residency, fellowship and post baccalaureate programs.
