Application Procedure for Obesity Medicine Fellowship
The fellowship accepts applications from July 17 until November 1 for the upcoming academic year. For priority consideration, all application materials must be submitted within this application window. Details on the required application materials and how to submit each one are listed below. Either in-person or remote interviews will be scheduled on a rolling basis during the application window period, and the fellowship aims to notify applicants of selection starting December 2, 2024.
Eligibility
All applicants should be board-certified or board-eligible in internal medicine, family medicine, or internal medicine-pediatrics. The clinician track predominantly recruits citizens and permanent residents of the U.S.; however, other applicants may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Currently we are not able to consider international graduates or host observerships. Due to training grant restrictions, only citizens and permanent residents of the U.S. are eligible to apply to the clinician-investigator track.
