How to Apply:

The application process will be completed through the Electronic Resident Application System (ERAS). Applications and supporting material must be submitted through ERAS. ERAS will open the files to us in early December. The interview season will run from January through March. Selection is done through the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP). Rank Order Lists are due in Mid-April and the Match is complete in early May, fourteen months before the start of fellowship.

The personal statement should clearly state the previous accomplishments of the candidate and the candidate's goals for a career in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. Three letters of evaluation are required. They should be from recent supervisors who can address the applicant's potential for scholarship.

In preparing for the interviews, it is recommended that the applicant consider the available scholarly pursuits at UCLA, including the Access program, and the School of Public Health. Candidates should list potential areas in which they might pursue research. We will attempt to have the candidates meet investigators in those areas while they are at UCLA for their interviews.
