Episode 191: The Process of Fellowship Applications Demystified

In this special Healthcare Unfiltered podcast, I tackle the fellowship application process using “Hematology/Oncology” fellowship as an example, but this applies to most other fellowships in other disciplines. To better understand the process and the issues, I invited a fellowship program director and a fellow applicant – doesn’t get better than that.

I am joined by Marc Braunstein, fellowship program director at NYU Langone Health, and Megan Melody, a third year fellow at Northwestern (Megan is starting her faculty position at TGH in Tampa soon), to discuss the intricacies of applying for internal medicine fellowships. We delve into what makes a strong application, the various types of fellowship programs, and the perspectives of both applicants and program directors in the matching process, including how to write a compelling personal statement, secure strong references, and choose which programs to visit, as well as so much more.
