Central Matching
AHNS instituted a Centralized Matching Program to streamline the fellowship application process. For example, those candidates wishing to apply for a fellowship position beginning July 2018should return their applications in the winter of 2016/spring of 2017.
Match Applications may be downloaded and returned to the American Head and Neck Society office. The match will be performed on June 15, 2016, so all interviews and associated materials must be finalized prior to that date.
The Advanced Training Council Program guidelines for Head & Neck Fellowships are available here.
The Advanced Training Council Program guidelines for Endocrine Fellowships are available here.
Information for Institutions
Each fellowship program approved by the Advanced Training Council undergoes site review at regular intervals. During these reviews, the Training Council analyzes the program’s strengths and weaknesses to ensure that adherence to the core curriculum, adequate faculty participation, caseload, and overall quality are all maintained. Programs may apply for approval by contacting JJ Jackman at jj@ahns.info and requesting an application.
