 Question:
I was contacted by a neonatal fellow applicant, today who was canceling his interview because he was accepted at a program offering a prematch position.
He had applied to us via ERAS. For our program I am not concerned about losing an applicant but I would like clarification as to whether this is proper based on our fellowship director agreements about the match.
This fellow applicant is a foreign medical school grad but will be a US Pediatric Residency graduate at the time he starts his fellowship. Apparently pediatric residents, who are foreign medical graduates can be taken outside the pediatric residency match but is this the case with fellow applicants if they are either H1B, J1, or foreign medical graduates but US trained pediatric residents?
This is quite important for us to know especially in the NY area there are a lot of excellent foreign medical grads who are USA trained pediatric residents.
I have been telling these applicants that I am only going through the match. Did I shoot myself in the foot? Did the fellowship director who took the applicant described above break the rules?
