Applications
As a three-year fellowship, the Cardiovascular Disease fellowship program accepts applications of residents who anticipate completion of an ACGME accredited Internal Medicine residency program. Applications are processed through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS); no other applications are accepted. All applicants are expected to participate in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) . The Division of Cardiology conducts three formal interview sessions each year, and seven positions at the PGY-4 level are filled from a pool of approximately 550 applicants. A minimum of three letters of recommendation from faculty members, a personal statement, Dean's letter and transcript, USMLE board scores and a completed application with a recent passport size photograph are required.
Please refer to the American Association of Medical Colleges for more information on the ERAS program and the documentation required for application.
International graduates must meet the requirements of the Graduate Medical Education Office at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston, established by the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners and the Immigration Services Office. The University of Texas Medical School at Houston requires international graduates to meet the terms for a Physician-in-training, as outlined by the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners, and sponsors only J-1 visas.
To allow adequate time for review and selection, applications and all supporting materials must be received through ERAS on or before December 31, 2009. The Cardiology Education Committee reviews complete fellowship applications in January. Interviews will be held on February 18, 19 and 27, 2010. Only the leading 60-70 applicants who are among the top in academic excellence, USMLE scores, and research interests are invited for a personal interview. The interview process is an important factor in the final selection, and also gives candidates the opportunity to visit The University of Texas Medical School at Houston and meet with the faculty and fellows.
Questions regarding the Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship Program should be directed to the Cardiology Education Office at (713) 500-6577 or by E-mail to cardiologyfellowships@uth.tmc.edu.
