Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism Fellowship Application Guide
The Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism Fellowship at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (Weill Cornell Campus) is a two-year, ACGME-accredited training program. The program is tri-institutional, employing the academic and clinical resources of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical College, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and the Hospital for Special Surgery. The first year of the fellowship is primarily clinical, while the second year emphasizes clinical investigation or basic research. By the completion of the second year, fellows will have at least one paper prepared for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. An optional third year of training devoted to further research is also available.
Instructions to Applicants
Fellowship applications must be completed electronically through the American Association of Medical Colleges’ Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). After the application is complete, applicants must use the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) to match to the program. The program follows a December ERAS application cycle with a June NRMP match date.
Fellowship positions are filled using the ERAS-NRMP Match systems only.
Applicants should apply for fellowship during their second year of residency. Fellowship training will begin approximately one year after the NRMP Match. For example, residents applying in December 2010 will begin fellowship training in July 2012.
