Demystifying the Fellowship Application Process

It’s almost August, which means it’s the time of year when residents and fellows start a new chapter of their lives.

In this special episode of Healthcare Unfiltered, Dr. Chadi Nabhan discusses the fellowship application process. He uses the hematology/oncology fellowship as an example but keeps the conversation broad enough to encompass fellowships in most other disciplines.

To better understand the process and its issues, he invited Marc Braunstein, fellowship program director at NYU Langone Health, and Megan Melody, a fellow at Northwestern University, to discuss the intricacies of applying for internal medicine fellowships. Together, they delve into what makes a strong application, the various types of fellowship programs, and the perspectives of both applicants and program directors in the matching process.
