Before you contact the program

1. 01

   Find the application route

   Fellowships recruit through ERAS, a specialty match such as the SF Match, or directly with the program. The program's page gives its route, deadlines and the number of places.

2. 02

   Check eligibility first

   Look for the program's visa policy, licensing and exam requirements (USMLE or COMLEX), any limit on years since graduation, and for a fellowship, the training it expects you to have completed.

3. 03

   Need a place sooner?

   Programs also fill places outside the regular cycle, when a trainee leaves or a new position is funded. Those are listed on ResidencySpot as vacancies, and a saved search tells you the day one is posted.

4. 04

   Where training happens

   The program is listed in Charlottesville, Virginia. Some programs rotate trainees across several hospitals, so confirm the main training site and any required moves.
