Offer Process
- Priority Application Window is August 4 - November 7, 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.
- You may send preference signals to your top two programs where you completed interviews. The 2 programs you select should be the programs where you are most interested in completing your fellowship. If you signal a program, the director will know that you have chosen them as one of your top two choices.
- December 4: Rank the programs where you interviewed. Your rankings will serve as pilot data to inform the development of a future matching process.
- December 4: Deadline to withdraw your application (if matched with other fellowship, e.g., GI, Endocrine, etc.)
- Offer Date is December 8, 2025. All programs will send offers to their top applicant between 10am-12pm 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. Program directors can send out another offer immediately if their first choice declines the offer.
- 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 this page of 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.
