Application Process

Applying to a fellowship program is an important step. We will select five three-year fellowship candidates exclusively through the National Residency Match Program. We do not have a separate Critical Care Medicine track. Please follow this information about requirements and the process for applying.

UNMC Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship – Program Signal Policy Summary

The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Program considers program signals as one factor in our comprehensive application review process.

All applications are reviewed thoroughly and independently, regardless of signaling status. Interview invitations are extended based on the overall strength of each application. While a program signal is viewed as a genuine expression of interest, it does not guarantee an interview invitation.

1. Apply through ERAS® - The Electronic Residency Application Service. Make sure these materials are on file in ERAS:
  • Three letters of recommendation, including one from your Residency Program Director
  • Extracurricular activities during your residency
  • USMLE transcript
  • Personal Statement
2. Applicant interviews. By invitation only, these interviews are an important part of the match process and are generally held from September through November

3. International medical graduates are required to have completed an ACGME-accredited Internal Medicine residency. The fellowship program sponsors J-1 and H-1B visas. Please note, all H-1B visa applicants must pay their own $2,800 premium processing fee.
