The Career Fellows Program is highly competitive, and each year we receive applications from many exceptional students for a limited number of available positions. Our selection process is rigorous, and the decisions are incredibly difficult given the caliber of applicants. All applications, including interviews, are thoroughly reviewed and given careful consideration. Given that we are a small community hospital and taking into account patient safety, quality of care, and respect for the environment, our selection process is also limited for students accepted in the program.
