Chekclist

The UCLA GI Fellowship Program offers opportunities for candidates who are interested in pursuing clinical and research goals. There are two tracks: the clinical scholar track (3 years) and the research scientist track (4+ years). For the 2021 match, only the clinical track will be offered.

The UCLA GI Fellowship Program is a part of the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) and the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). Applicants should apply through ERAS. Our ERAS page will only offer the clinical academic track (3 years) this year. Refer to Our Program page for more information.

The deadline for submission of GI fellowship applications is 5pm (PDT), August 14, 2020. It is preferred that letters of recommendation are uploaded by the application submission deadline. There is no guarantee that applications received after 5pm (PDT), August 14, 2020, will be reviewed. This does not apply to recommendation letters.

In addition to the ERAS Common Application Form, we require the following materials to be submitted through ERAS:

  1. Medical school transcript
  2. USMLE/COMLEX score sheets
  3. Personal statement
    • Please be specific regarding future career plans and areas of interest.
  4. CV
  5. Three letters of recommendation (minimum)
    • Standard Dean's letters of progress in courses are not considered letters of recommendation.

All application materials must be sent through ERAS. No paper applications or supporting materials sent directly to the UCLA GI Fellowship Program will be accepted.

Applicants will receive notification regarding application document status and interview dates in August. We will hold interviews between September and October.

  1. US citizen
  2. US permanent resident
  3. ECFMG J1 Visa applicant at the time of application submission
