For the 2008 academic year, the Rheumatology Fellowship Program will
be participating in the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).
Applications to our fellowship program should be made to the ERAS
at their website (http://www.aamc.org/students/erasfellow/steps/start.htm).
The Rheumatology Fellowship Program participates in the Medical Specialties
Matching Program of the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP).
Applicants should register with the NRMP at their website.
In addition to the ERAS application, applicants are required to submit
the following by March 15, 2009 via ERAS.
- Curriculum vitae
- Personal Statement
- Three letters of recommendation
After we receive your completed application including three supporting
letters, your file will be reviewed and you will be notified regarding
the advisability of an interview. Applicants must be eligible for
certification in Internal Medicine by the American Board of Internal
Medicine and must be licensed by the State of Illinois at the time
they begin their fellowship. Candidates with visas (H-1b or J-1) are
