Home BCRP Program Research Eligibility for Research Tracks
Flower Eligibility for Research Tracks
Intern applicants cannot be guaranteed acceptance into these pathways prior to the beginning of their internship since clinical performance and PL-1 in-service exam scores are used to judge a candidate's suitability for accelerated training. Housestaff who wish to pursue these pathways instead of a senior year, must notify Ted Sectish by January 1st of their internship year.

Necessary requirements to be considered include:

  • A prior track record of research accomplishment.
  • Indication that a given fellowship at Children's Hospital, Boston Medical Center, or elsewhere accepts the candidate for a fellowship position following his or her PL-2 year.
  • Indication, from the candidate's PL-1 in-training exam score, that he or she will probably be able to pass the American Board of Pediatrics Qualifying Exam without a third year of pediatric training.
Since the number of slots is limited, due to the special curricular requirements of these pathways, the Nonstandard Training Pathway Committee, made up of Program Directors, Chief Residents and Division Chiefs, will select those applicants best suited to pursue these special tracks. Decisions are made in November of the intern year. It is estimated that approximately four slots will be available each year. It should be noted that in the past the number of candidates desiring one of these two research tracks has never exceeded the number of slots.
