Task Force Updates

Fellowship Application Process Task Force
We have focused on the possibility of a common offer/match date. In that light, we have utilized the resources of CoPS and the ABP to survey the current fellow pool of all subspecialities to assess their wishes regarding a match. Included in our survey are questions regarding: 1) the use of ERAS and what release date should be chosen and 2) should there be a match date and if so, which of two dates should be utilized.

Fellowship Core Curriculum Task Force
We have reviewed curricula that are used at several (5) institutions. A survey has gone out to all program directors to identify a fellowship curriculum coordinator if such exists at the institution. The plan is then to request from identified Subspecialty fellowship program director examples of their curriculum. We will ultimately select best case practices as examples for both clinical programs and programs that have emphasis on basic science research.
