      • Applications may continue to be accepted after November 1st, but will not get priority.

      • Three letters of recommendation are required (1. from your most recent residency/fellowship program director, 2. a recent supervisor other than your residency/fellowship program director, and 3. one additional letter from a clinical supervisor who can attest to your abilities).

  • Offer Process

    • Priority Application Window is August 4 - November 1, 2025 (we recommend not waiting until the November deadline to apply so that you have ample time to schedule interviews). 
    • Interview with programs that reach out to you.
    • Create your list of preferred programs after you've completed all interviews so that you are prepared to give a timely response if you are offered a position.
    • Offer Date is December 8, 2025. All programs will send out offers to their top applicant between 10am-1pm ET.
      • If you receive an offer from your top choice, let the program director know as soon as possible and decline all other offers so that other applicants may be given offers.
      • If you do not receive an offer on December 8, you may receive one the next day, later in the week or the following week(s) as programs go through their list of applicants.
      • As positions get filled, the status of programs will be updated on the OMFC website so you can see where there are still openings.
      • You may apply to additional programs that have openings if your top choices did not offer the position to you.

  • Note:

    • Obesity Medicine fellowship programs do not participate in the Medical Specialties Matching Program; therefore, it is likely that some programs will make offers after December 8, as many candidates apply to multiple programs.
    • Individual programs may choose to accept applications after the deadline, if necessary, and may request additional information from applicants.
