fellowship matching process

The fellowship matching process is a system used primarily in medical training to pair applicants with fellowship programs. Candidates apply to multiple programs, and those programs review applications and interview select candidates. After interviews, both candidates and programs rank their preferences. Then, a centralized algorithm processes these rankings, aiming to match candidates with their top-choice programs while considering program preferences. This system ensures that both parties find a suitable fit, maximizing the chances of matching individuals with the most compatible opportunities for their education and career goals.
