Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism Information for Fellowship Applicants
Dear Fellowship Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in the Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism Fellowship Program at Weill Medical College of Cornell University (WCMC). The fellowship is a two-year training program accredited by the Residency Review Committee of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). This is a tri-institutional program with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/ Weill Cornell Medical College, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and the Hospital for Special Surgery. Fellows receive didactic and clinical instruction from faculty using the inpatient and ambulatory facilities of all three hospitals, a combined 1,500-bed medical complex.
The first year of the fellowship is primarily clinical, while the second year emphasizes clinical investigation or basic research. Based on individual interest and past research experience, fellows may select mentors from a range of disciplines in the tri-institutional community and The Rockefeller University, in both basic and clinical research. By the completion of their second year, fellows will have at least one paper prepared for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. An optional third year is devoted to further research training.
We participate in the Medical Specialties Matching Program at the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). The Fellowship Program is currently accepting applications through the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS). Please note our ERAS application deadline is December 18th, 2009. All applicants must be U.S. citizens. NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center no longer sponsors H-1 B visas.
A completed application consists of all required fields in the ERAS system, including:
• 2 Letters of Recommendation
• Personal Statement
• USMLE Transcript
• Photograph
Fellowship interviews will take place from February-March 2009.
We look forward to receiving your application!
Sincerely,
David Brillon, MD
Fellowship Program Director
