To apply for a pulmonary critical care fellowship, applicants must compile a range of documents and register with a centralized matching service. After ranking their preferred programs, they may be invited for interviews before receiving offers. The matching process is tentative and competitive, so applicants should rank enough programs to increase their chances of success.
An individual interested in a pulmonary critical care fellowship must submit an application for the programs in which he seeks to work. To ease the process, most pulmonary critical care grants participate in a centralized mailing service that provides uniform applications and deadlines for applicants. After registering with the central office, the pulmonary critical care grant applicant must rank all offers based on preference. Once the application and interview process is complete, the director of the pulmonary critical care program sends his preferred list of candidates to the centralized service. The candidate is subsequently informed of the offers of the programs that obtained the highest ranking in his preference list and has until a predetermined deadline to accept or decline the position.
Before applying for a pulmonary critical care fellowship, the applicant must compile a resume, curriculum vitae, personal statement, letter of recommendation, photograph, and school transcript. If there is a program he is interested in that he is not a participant in the centralized matching service, he should contact the director and inquire about application requirements, deadlines and fees. He must also figure out where to send the necessary information.
An applicant for a pulmonary intensive care grant who is using the centralized service can only register on the website and upload or scan the above mentioned academic and personal information into the database. After completing the application, the Pulmonary Intensive Care Fellowship applicant must select the programs they wish to work for and usually pays a fee associated with the centralized service. The centralized service sends the data package to the various directors of the pulmonary intensive care program selected by the candidate.
Fellowship program directors review applicants’ achievements and credentials. In addition to personal achievement, directors are looking for candidates who are a good fit for the program. Candidates of particular interest to directors will be invited for interviews in order to better understand the type of person the candidate is.
Applicants must have a good understanding of the nature of the program to demonstrate knowledge of and interest in this pulmonary critical care fellowship. These interviews also give applicants a chance to evaluate the program. For example, a candidate seeking employment in intensive pulmonary care in academia may not get the most out of working in a program that focuses on community outreach. Alternatively, a candidate desiring a research-intensive pulmonary critical care career may find that one program satisfies that interest somewhat better than another. This information is important when it comes to classifying programs.
When all interviews have been conducted, individual programs extend offers to applicants. Candidates and programs participating in the centralized matching service create ranked lists of their preferred fellowship programs or candidates. The matching service uses an algorithm to pair applicants and programs. It should be noted that these matches are tentative because once applicants accept or decline offers, new applicants and programs move up the rankings. Consequently, it is important for the applicant to assess the amount of competition for the pulmonary critical care grant he wants and rank enough programs to reduce the chances that he will not be matched.
