Dear Colleagues,
I am writing to share an update regarding our pediatric rheumatology fellowship program: Due to uncertainty surrounding federal T32 training grant renewals, as government funding to Northwestern was temporarily withheld, we felt uncomfortable opening our program for recruitment through ERAS. HOWEVER, we are pleased to share that our T32 renewal has now been confirmed, and one of our current fellows will be supported through this mechanism. This development frees up funding for an additional fellowship position, allowing us to recruit an incoming fellow for the upcoming cycle (FY 2026-2029).
Because of the timing of this funding update, our program was not listed as open in ERAS when the cycle began in June, so we want to ensure that interested candidates and programs are aware that we are accepting applications for next year! We are now listed as open, and candidates can apply through ERAS.
Please share this information with any interested residents or colleagues. Prospective applicants can reach out directly for additional details about our program or application process via the e-mails below.
