We select candidates based on their entire application and accept 3 fellows in the Sleep Fellowship program each year.

We only accept applications submitted via the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).

Your ERAS application must include:

  • USMLE transcript and/or COMLEX-USA scores
  • Medical school transcript and Dean’s letter
  • Curriculum vitae
  • Personal statement
  • ECFMG (for foreign medical school graduates)
  • Visa’s sponsored: J-1 (if applicable)

See timetable below.

Once your application is fully submitted in ERAs in its entirety and becomes available to us, selected applicants will be invited for an interview.  Interview season is generally late August  through the end of October.

INSTRUCTIONS: In order to add a sidebar anchor:

  1. Duplicate the existing item, listed as a 1/6 text field. (Or create a 1/6 column and add a text field, modify the class so it’s exactly “additionalAnchor”).
  2. Modify the text field inside the 1/6 column. Inside there, modify the HYPERLINK so that it would go to a corresponding section with a “#” in front of it. (Example, we have a “chief” section on the page, then it would make sense to have the hyperlink go to “#chief”)
  3. Then change the hyperlink TEXT to a appropriate label.
  4. IMPORTANT: If not done already, go into that CONTAINER that corresponds to your anchor (i.e. Meet The Chiefs), and add an ID matching the anchor’s HYPERLINK WITHOUT the “#”, i.e. “chief”.
  5. (If using side bar widget box, then there’s a saved copy of a widget box COLUMN, grab it in the column library, it should 1/6 of a length of a column.)

NOTE: Order added to the sidebar is from last to first.
