The Hematology/Medical Oncology Fellowship Program at UVM Medical Center participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP).
Applications are accepted from July 15 to September 1. Individual interviews are scheduled from mid-August through October on Mondays and Fridays.
Once an applicant is invited to interview, we welcome any additional requests for special information, to meet particular faculty, or visit specific facilities or programs across the entire institution in order to tailor the interview to an applicant's specific interests.
Materials required from all applicants are:
- Application

Successful completion of Steps 1, 2 (CK & CS) and it is highly recommend that Step 3 be completed as well, of either the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) or both Level 1 & 2 (CE & PE) of the comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX).

International applicants must:

NOTE: an observership does not fulfill this requirement
We invite five applicants at a time to come to interview. Each applicant is interviewed separately. The typical interview day will run from 8:30am to 1:30pm. Applicants find it convenient to arrive the previous night.
The interview schedule is variable, but involves meeting several faculty for 30 minutes each, lunch with current fellows, a tour of the main facilities, and possibly attending a conference or rounds. Due to the large volume of applications we receive, we are not able to respond to each applicant.
We are committed to maintaining the integrity of the entire application process to conform to the highest ethical standards and to provide a personal, individualized, and informative experience for each candidate.
