Cardiovascular Fellowship
Application Information

How to apply:

This is a two-step process.  Application is conducted through ERAS.  In order to actually apply to any programs you must complete the second step.

  1. Enter ERAS application (link is to the ERAS website) information anytime between July 1, 2009 and May 30, 2010. Documents will be accepted from ERAS only.   
  2. Submit your ERAS application to the specific institution of your choice (i.e., University of Virginia); this second step may be done beginning November 15, 2009.  

Please note:  While you can submit applications anytime between November 15, 2009 and May 30, 2010, it is best to submit your application earlier rather than later. UVA begins reviewing applications as of December 1, 2009 and all interviews conclude in April, 2010. 

We require these documents to be in the ERAS system before we will evaluate you:

  • Common application form, personal statement, medical school transcript
  • Three required letters of recommendation: one from your Program Director and two others from your present institution, preferably one from a faculty member in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Wallet-sized color photograph
  • USMLE transcripts
  • ECFMG status report (foreign medical graduates only)

We do accept J1 visas for our three year clinical fellowships.  In the past we have sponsored H1B visas, but the applicant must be extremely well-qualified.  Applicants for our four-year program (2 years clinical and 2 years research) must have their green card or US citizenship, as part of the funding comes from NIH grants.
