ATC Program Directors – 2020 Fellowship Year Survey

Hello AHNS-accredited Program Directors,

Advanced Training Council (ATC) asks that our Program Directors or designee complete the below survey regarding your current fellows and the COVID-19 situation. These answers will greatly assist us in guiding the next steps for the Fellowship Match and supporting the interview process for programs and candidates, as well as to assess the overall changes to the clinical and educational landscape our fellows are currently experiencing. The ATC knows / anticipates challenges and is continuing to explore optimal timing of the match.

Thank you!

The AHNS Advanced Training Council
Ara Chalian, Chair
Don Weed, Co-Chair
