Matching Process Commitment Dissolution

Fellowship Council Matching Process Commitment Dissolution Request

  • The Fellowship Council (FC) requires matching process applicants to offer or accept an appointment if a match occurs. Additionally, the Fellowship Council requires the applicant to start their fellowship in good faith (e.g. with the intent to complete the fellowship program) on the date specified by the program. In limited circumstances, the FC may grant a matching process commitment dissolution for programs and matched fellows who are not able to honor the binding commitment. Matched fellows and programs are not authorized to release each other from the binding matching process commitment. Once a fellow and program have matched, the matched fellow and program must first obtain a matching process commitment dissolution from the FC before matched fellow and program can apply for, discuss, interview for, or accept an alternate position. The decision to grant or deny the matching process commitment dissolution is at the sole discretion of the FC. To initiate a possible matching process commitment dissolution, complete this form in its entirety, which will be sent to info@fellowshipcouncil.org. Failure to provide all the information requested will delay the processing of your request.
