Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism Information for Fellowship Applicants

Dear Fellowship Applicant,

Thank you for your interest in the Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism Fellowship at Weill Cornell Medical College. Our fellowship is a two-year training program accredited by the Residency Review Committee of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Additional years of non-ACGME fellowship research training may be arranged on an individual basis.

From July 15 - September 10, 2012, our program is currently accepting applications for two fellowship positions starting July 1, 2013.  Fellowship positions are filled using the ERAS-NRMP Match systems only. Prospective fellows should apply through the American Association of Medical Colleges’ Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). After applicant interviews have concluded, fellowship candidates must register with the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) to match to the program. Our program participates in ERAS’s July Cycle for Fellowship Programs, and NRMP’s Medical Specialties Matching Program (MSMP), which matches on December 05, 2012.

Our program’s ERAS deadline is September 10, 2012. The WCMC Endocrinology Fellowship Program will download and archive all ERAS application materials available to our program as of 5:00 PM on September 10, 2012. Please ensure your application materials are available in the ERAS Post Office by this time. In general, only materials downloaded by the program deadline will be reviewed by the Fellowship Selection Committee. 

For your application to be considered complete, the program requires the following ERAS documents:

• ERAS Common Application Form (CAF)/ERAS CV
• 3 Letters of Recommendation
  • Please include one letter from the director of your residency program
• Personal Statement
• USMLE Transcript
• Medical Student Performance Evaluation and Medical School Transcript
• ECFMG Status Report (international medical graduates only)
• Optional — Wallet-sized Color Photograph

Lastly the fellowship program welcomes IMG; however we do not sponsor any VISAs at this time. All applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents at the time of application (on or before 09/10/12.)

Fellowship interviews are by invitation only and will be held on October 3, 10, & 24, 2012. Candidates selected to interview will be contacted by program staff in late September or early October of 2012. Applicants selected to interview may email any relevant published research or additional application materials to the program coordinator. These materials will be added to the applicant’s file and made available to interviewers and Fellowship Selection Committee members.

We look forward to receiving your application!

Sincerely,
David Brillon, MD
Fellowship Program Director
