How to Apply

Applications for the 2026-2027 fellowship are open now and will be accepted until March 19, with interviews to be held on March 20 and March 21. Students who are unsuccessful in the NRMP matching process in 2026 will have an opportunity to interview after the closure of the SOAP; Please note that communicating with applicants bound by the match before then is not permitted and considered a match violation.

We are anticipating holding the first round of interviews on Friday March 20 from 3:00pm EST to 6:00pm EST. The second round will be the following Saturday March 21, 8:00am-10:00 am EST. Preliminary decisions and offers will then be sent that Friday evening, or the same Saturday at 12:00pm EST. Applicants will be given 24 hours to definitively accept or decline. This is out of respect for both other students and applicants since there are a limited number of research fellowship opportunities across the country and timely decisions are required to optimize outcomes for all involved.

Applicants must be current students at US accredited osteopathic or allopathic medical schools. Acceptable applicants are 3rd or 4th year students in a current accredited medical school. 4th year medical students who have completed requirements for graduation but do not currently have plans to enroll at an ACGME-accredited post-graduate program are also invited to apply. Interested parties should provide a CV, personal statement including goals for the one-year position, and one letter of recommendation. Fellows must have existing authorization to work in the US and that we cannot currently sponsor visas.

Unfortunately, due to NRMP regulations, we cannot correspond with applicants during the NRMP Match week until after the SOAP process has been completed. Interested applicants with any questions or issues can contact kari.wyatt@uhhospitals.org.
