What is Fellowship?

Fellowship study is a requirement for becoming a specialised physician. During fellowship training, a physician closely follows a specialist to learn about a specialisation. The learning doctor is referred to as a fellow in the programme. As a result, an orthopaedic surgeon may complete a fellowship education programme in knee surgery to become an expert. A physician in education may also participate in hundreds of knee surgery during their year of training to obtain their specialisation. Being a specialist is a highly sought-after path in the medical sector. Many medical students want to be specialists, but only a few PhD candidates are selected for fellowship training.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Age Criteria – no minimum or maximum age for the fellowship programme.
  • Educational Qualification – Candidate must hold an MD/ MS post-graduate degree from an institute in the respective discipline along with work experience as mentioned below
  • Work Experience – Along with the MD/ MS degree, candidates must have three years of teaching experience as a Senior Resident or equivalent after obtaining the MD/ MS degree

Fellowship in Combination

A number of programmes provide combination fellowships, which include training in two or more sub-specialties as part of a single programme.
  • Pulmonary/Critical Care: This is a more popular form of programme than Pulmonary Disease (non-combination) programmes. There were 130 ACGME-accredited combined Pulmonary/Critical Care programmes in 2007, but only 25 for Pulmonary Disease alone.
  • Hematology/Oncology: As of 2005, there were 125 ACGME-accredited Hematology-Oncology programmes, compared to just 12 for Hematology alone and 18 for Oncology alone.
  • Oncology/Geriatrics: The American Board of Internal Medicine has authorised a three-year combined fellowship training programme in medical oncology and geriatrics. Initially, the John A. Hartford Foundation financed ten universities for this sort of instruction.
