Recruitment Process

The recruitment committee will begin reviewing applications for the 2026-27 academic year in accordance with the ERAS Timeline. Interview invitations will be sent to selected candidates through Thalamus in mid-August, with interviews taking place in September/October.

We are electing to use program signals as part of our holistic review process. Please know that a program signal does not guarantee an interview. While we preferentially review applications from those who signal our program, we may also consider applicants who do not signal us.  Our program will be following the recruitment recommendations of the APCCMPD for 2026 listed in the following document: APCCMPD recruitment recommendations.

There are a variety of factors we take into account when considering an applicant, including personal statements, letters of recommendation, USMLE Step scores, passion for the Pulmonary and Critical Care field, and more. We take a holistic approach to recruitment and look for candidates who are well-rounded, engaged, and excellent team players.

Please note that any materials sent outside of ERAS will not be considered as part of your application. While we encourage you to reach out with questions and concerns, please refrain from forwarding your application or supplementary materials to us via email.

Due to time constraints, we unfortunately are unable to notify applicants who were not selected for interviews. All candidates who have been selected for interviews will be notified around mid-September.

Match Results will be released by the NRMP per the 2027 Fellowship Match Schedule on December 2, 2026.
