  15. Selection CriteriaMost important: Top 5 and bottom 5 on FPD list

  16. Important Pieces Over Which You Have Some Control • Doing well in residency so that the Program LOR from Medicine PD looks great • LOR from sub-specialists in your field of interest • Doing research and getting publication • Presenting yourself well at the Fellowship Interview

  17. Clearly of Lesser Importance • Personal Statement – can only hurt you • Letters from non-sub specialist in your field of interest • ***Phone call from Medicine PD to fellowship PD • Applying during residency (meaning you can get in if you apply after working/doing research for a year or two) • Extracurricular activities

  18. Components of Application • Where applying? Consider where your support network is and how broadly to apply based on your competitiveness. Also talk to faculty in your specialty about the programs in other states. • Curriculum vitae • Personal Statement • Letters of Recommendation (3-4) – Program LOR (written by PD) – 2-3 in sub-specialty area applying from faculty that know you clinically or research wise

  19. CV • Do NOT send without your mentor (+/- PD) reviewing and proof reading! • Obtain “ideal” CV for formatting • Don’t be afraid to “massage” your achievements (BUT don’t put things on you didn’t do) • Review handout on CV sections

  20. Personal Statement • Do not send without your mentor (+/- PD) reading! • Try to write something besides about your sick grandparent. Why are you drawn to that particular specialty? What do you have to contribute? • Limit to maximum 1 page – preferred 2/3 of a page

  21. Letters of Recommendation • Ask if that faculty member would be comfortable writing you a strong letter. If they hesitate or do not seem thrilled, you may want to pick someone else. • Allow faculty enough time • It’s ok to send a gentle follow-up reminder 3-4 weeks after requesting • Get them all in by July 1 !

  22. Interviewing • Look up your interviewer and/or the program/department overall before interview day to see what they focus on • Be early • Dress Professionally - suit (equivalent for women) – if you try to stand out a little from the sea of navy blue don’t get too crazy. • Schmooze nicely – secretary/ coordinator/ administrator/ current fellows (you never know who is grading you) • Participate if possible and you are pretty sure your comment/question is intelligent • Know why you want to be at that particular program • Get email of interviewer so as to write thank you email after with key things that impressed you

  23. Overall Comments • Be realistic • Seek advice – mentor, Chair, PD, APDs • Get your material proofread • Apply relatively broadly • Be organized/prepared for the Interviews
