Eligibility
All candidates should have completed at least 2 years of Internal Medicine training in an ACGME-accredited program in the United States. This includes international medical graduates (IMG), who generally must have completed an ACGME-accredited residency program in the United States. ECFMG certification and a completed ERAS file are necessary to apply. Applicants are expected to be Internal Medicine board-eligible at the beginning of their first fellowship year, and they are expected to complete the requirements for board certification within the first months of joining the fellowship.
Non-US citizens who are entering a BWH ACGME accredited training program are required to obtain visa sponsorship prior to beginning their program. The Department of Medicine sponsors J-1 and H-1B visas. Visa holders are not eligible to be funded by NIH training grants (Research track) or to practice as an attending (Academic Leadership track) which limits the possibility of the fellowship program to accept visa candidates.

While candidates who do not signal our program may still be offered an interview, we strongly encourage candidates who have a strong desire to train at BWH to use the ERAS program signal to indicate this, including candidates from BWH or other Boston programs. To help candidates gauge whether to use one of their signals for our program, we recommend that you review the website closely to see if your career goals align with the goals of the program. Successful candidates to the BWH program have typically shown a history of academic excellence and initiative, with previous experiences providing evidence of future leadership potential. Many (but not all) candidates have one or more of the following: Research experience, volunteering experience, research publications, eligibility to be funded by NIH training grants, good scores on standardized exams, and strong endorsements from letter writers of clinical and leadership skills.
