MMC supports a total of two infectious diseases fellowship positions (one position per year). Candidates must have successfully completed three years of training in Internal Medicine in an approved allopathic or osteopathic training program and be board eligible in internal medicine.
Candidate selection is based on the quality of previous training in internal medicine, evaluations of competence by the internal medicine program director and other references, and the personal qualities of the candidate as evaluated during the interview process. The program is most interested in candidates who wish to go on to an active clinical practice in infectious diseases.
Application Process
The Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program at MMC uses the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). ERAS accepts applications for the Infectious Diseases Fellowship each July, for programs beginning the following year. Fellowship positions are offered through the Medical Specialties Matching Program of the National Resident Matching Program.
