Checklist
The following checklist is designed to help ensure that you successfully fulfill all necessary application steps.
Before Applying
Research specialities and programs of interest to ensure you understand and meet all program eligibility requirements and deadlines, including citizenship and visa requirements. The full list of participating programs can be found on each respective specialty association's website.
Register with the appropriate match service (if required).
- Completing your FellowshipsCAS application does not register you for any match service.
- Registering with a match service is not a prerequisite for either applying or submitting your FellowshipsCAS application.
- Not every program participates in a match service. It is your responsibility to review the requirements for your chosen specialty or program to understand any match requirements that may exist.
Applying to FellowshipsCAS
Completion Requirements
The following items and documents must be received along with your submitted FellowshipsCAS application for it to be considered complete:
Any required letters of recommendation – check with your programs for specific requirements.
Note the following:
- Letters of recommendation must be manually assigned to your chosen programs in FellowshipsCAS. These are the only components of your application that require manual assignment. All other requirements are automatically assigned to your selected programs.
- A personal statement and headshot are required components of the application and must be fulfilled in order to submit your application.
- You may have additional required documents to upload depending on your specialty or applicant type (e.g., ACGME Case Summary or ECFMG Certificate). These document requirements will only appear if you meet certain criteria.
- Once you submit your application and meet all the requirements, your application status will be updated to "Complete."
Application Signals
For applicants to Complex Benign Gynecology only: determine how you want to use signals to indicate interest in programs.
Submitting Your Application
Review your specialty's application close date on the Participating Specialties page and be sure to submit your application before that date.
After Submitting Your FellowshipsCAS Application
You'll receive a confirmation email acknowledging that your application was submitted. Note that submitting does not mean your application is being reviewed by your programs. Your application status transitions from "In-Progress" to either "Received" or "Complete" upon submission, depending on the materials already received.
Monitor your documents and application status.
Regularly check your email, voicemail, and postal mail for any communications from programs that might be sent outside of FellowshipsCAS.
