The Gastroenterology and Hepatology Fellowship at Dell Medical School recruits internal medicine graduates and PGY-3 residents who are interested in a career in gastrointestinal medicine. Interested applicants should apply through the Electronic Residency Application Service. The program begins review of applications in late July.
Application Procedure
To apply, enter ERAS information anytime between July 1 and August 12 and choose “The University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School” to ensure that the program receives the application. The program accepts documents from ERAS only.
Include the following in ERAS:
- Common application form, including a one-page personal statement and medical school transcript. The personal statement is a way to learn more about the applicant. The program will read curriculum vitae carefully, so there is no need to repeat information mentioned in the CV.
- A minimum of three letters of recommendation: one from the program director and two others from the current institution, with preferably one from a faculty member in the gastroenterology and hepatology division.
- Wallet-sized color photograph.
- United States Medical Licensing Examination transcripts.
- For foreign medical graduates: Candidates requiring certification from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates will only be invited to interview if they are ECFMG certified. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, permanent residents or have an Employment Authorization Document. The program does not sponsor J-1 or H-1 visas.
Interview Process
After a review of application materials, the program will contact qualified applicants to schedule an interview. The program conducts interviews from September through October. All interviews for the 2022-2023 application cycle will be virtual.
Optional in-person visits will be arranged for interviewees who are interested in touring facilities. No interviews are conducted during these in-person visits. These visits are completely optional and do not influence the ranking of interviewees.
