Foreign Applicants
Non-U.S. trained physicians and non-U.S. citizen/permanent residents may apply to the training program. Because some sources of training program funding are limited to U.S. citizens/permanent residents, the availability of slots for non-citizens/permanent residents is limited. Applicants should have completed Steps 1 and 2 of the ECFMG at the time of application and be eligible for a license to practice in Massachusetts upon completion of all steps. Applicants who seek to become board eligible in Pediatric Infectious Diseases would have to be board certified in Pediatrics in the United States or Canada, however this is not a requirement for application to the fellowship program.

Selection Process
We will accept applications and supporting material from November 15, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Applicants are encouraged to apply early for optimal consideration. Interviews will be scheduled in December, January, and February.

Questions should be addressed to Nora Boyle at 617-919-2900 or email
