A & I Fellowship - How to Apply

Application Process

Applications are accepted exclusively through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).

The application process begins at ERAS August 1st for positions opening 11 months later on July 1st of the next year. The completed application package through ERAS should be received by September 1st. See useful ERAS links in "Quick Links" on right.

Letters of Recommendation

We request applicants to submit 3 to 4 letters of recommendation, in addition to their Medical Student Performance Evaluation (i.e., Dean’s Letter) from Medical School. If the applicant has had research experience, we ask the applicant to send at least one letter of reference from a research mentor.

Personal Statement

ERAS allows the applicant to personalize their Personal Statement for each program.

In the Personal Statement for the University of Washington program, we prefer applicants to examine our website and state potential fellowship research opportunities that would interest them and tell us the rationale for their research preferences. In addition to our training faculty listed on our website, please note that research opportunities outside of the Division of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center are available to our Allergy/Immunology Fellowship applicants.

Interviews

Interviews are arranged with selected applicants in September. Interviews are arranged as a one-day schedule with key A&I faculty and fellows.

The University of Washington is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. We are strongly committed to increasing the number of minorities entering careers in academic Allergy and Immunology and we encourage application by minority candidates to our program.
