Application Process

We participate in the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) and the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). Once your completed ERAS application has been reviewed, selected applicants will be invited to a virtual interview. During the interview day, you’ll meet with four to five faculty members and the current fellows. You’ll also have the opportunity to attend one of our conferences virtually to gain insight into the collegial and collaborative environment within our division.

If there is a specific faculty member you would like to meet during your interview day, please let us know in advance so we can make every effort to accommodate your request.

In collaboration with the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, we offer a combined fellowship experience that integrates both adult and pediatric infectious disease training. Applicants interested in pursuing a combined fellowship in Pediatric Infectious Diseases are encouraged to apply.
