Information for Applicants

Thank you for your interest in the NewYork-Presbyterian (NYP)/Weill Cornell Medicine’s Infectious Diseases Fellowship Training Program. Our program is designed to train academic physicians primarily for positions which combine practice with research (laboratory, clinical or epidemiological). Preference is given to candidates seeking three years of training. Fellows are eligible to sit on the Boards in the Subspecialty of Infectious Diseases after the second year of training.

For additional information, please explore our division's website and review our division brochure which highlights the clinical, research, and supplemental training opportunities that our program offers. In it you will find a more detailed description of the training program, a sample schedule, a description of conferences, and summaries of our faculty and fellow research interests, recent publications, and current grants.

All applications for our program should be submitted through the Electronic Residency Applications Service (ERAS). In general, applicants shall be U.S. citizens or green card holders because of our funding sources for trainees. Occasionally, J or O visas can be accommodated. For the 2020 interview season, all interviews will be conducted virtually. We fully recognize the disruption in housestaff training caused by COVID-19. Please know that we will take this into account as we review applications this year.

Applications must include the following documentation:

• All required ERAS Application fields
• Curriculum Vitae
• Residency Program Director's Letter of Recommendation
• Two additional letters of recommendation
• Personal statement
• Photograph

We look forward to receiving your application!
