Fellowship Council COVID-19 Update – Virtual Interviews
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Fellowship Council moved to a virtual interview process in 2020. Based on this experience, the Fellowship Council has determined that virtual interviews enhance equity in the application process through reducing financial barriers to interviewing while minimizing the environmental impact of travel to in-person interviews. As a result, the Fellowship Council requires that all 2023-2024 fellowship year Non-ACGME Advanced Colorectal and Thoracic and 2024-2025 fellowship year Advanced GI MIS, Bariatric, Complex Gastrointestinal Surgery, Comprehensive Flexible Endoscopy, Foregut and HPB application and matching process interviews be conducted via virtual interview methods and not in person.
