Video Summary
The AAP MNR Member May Session focused on fellowship opportunities in various specialties, highlighting the unique experiences and insights from professionals who are pursuing or have pursued fellowships in pain medicine, brain injury, neuromuscular medicine, sports medicine, and pediatric rehabilitation. Each presenter shared the details of their specific fellowship, including the number of programs available, the application timelines, and the differences between ACGME and non-ACGME accredited fellowships. They also discussed the importance of selecting suitable geographic preferences, handling the nuances of scheduling interviews, and obtaining strong letters of recommendation specific to their specialty.<br /><br />Key points included the importance of being a well-rounded resident, the potential benefits of away rotations to explore specific interests, and the different selection criteria programs may prioritize, such as leadership, research experience, and clinical exposure. The session emphasized that while residency interviews may have a more rigid structure, fellowship interviews tend to be more conversational, focusing on ensuring the right cultural and professional fit for the program and the applicant.<br /><br />The presenters encouraged reaching out to program coordinators for more information about lesser-known programs and leveraging online resources, such as society directories, to understand better the offerings and expectations of potential fellowship programs. The session concluded with a reminder that post-fellowship, many procedures and skills could be acquired through continued education and training.
