Fellowship Application Process: Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism


Thank you for your interest in the MedStar Georgetown University Hospital – Washington Hospital Center Fellowship Training Program in Endocrinology.

Our program has adopted the APDEM Recommendations for 2020-21 Recruitment: APDEM Recommended Interview Plan for the 2020 Recruitment Season.  Consistent with these recommendations, we have committed to 100% virtual interviews/visits for all applicants in the 2020 recruitment season.

This is a two-year program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education that fulfills the requirements for sub-specialty certification set forth by the American Board of Internal Medicine. Training in Endocrinology is offered to physicians who have completed an ACGME accredited Internal Medicine Residency and are Board eligible in Internal Medicine.

MedStar will sponsor applicants with J-1 visas.

You should apply for the Endocrinology Fellowship Program at Georgetown University Hospital through ERAS (Electronic Residency Application Service). ERAS is an internet-based applications process developed by the Association of American Medical Colleges to transmit fellowship applications, letters of recommendation, Program Director letters, medical transcripts and other supporting credentials from applicants, residency programs and medical schools to fellowship program directors using the Internet. For information about the process or to register for ERAS on the web, please go to www.aamc.org/eras.
Upon receiving the applications through ERAS, Georgetown will contact candidates about the possibility of an interview. Interviews will be scheduled between August to October. Approximately 20 – 25 individuals will be interviewed for 2-3 positions.

Endocrinology participates in the National Resident Matching Program’s Medical Specialties Matching Program (MSMP). This is a computerized venue for matching an applicant’s program preferences with the program directors’ preferences for applicants. For information about the Match or to register on the web to participate in NRMP, please go to www.nrmp.org.
