Our fellowship program begins accepting applications for PGY-5 positions in early July for the following academic year. We ask that applications be completed by October 1st; however, extensions may be provided in certain circumstances. Please reach out to our leadership team to learn more. Once we receive your application, we will carefully consider you for an interview invitation.

We currently accept both Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) and ACLP Common applications. All applications will be reviewed and considered equally, regardless of submission method. Our goal is to make the application process as seamless as possible. We will continue to participate in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP).

Please consider the following as you complete your application:

• We encourage personal statements to address your experience and interest in CL Psychiatry along with how the UNC Fellowship appeals to your educational goals.
• Official ECFMG Certificates are required for all international medical graduates. This includes Canadian medical graduates as of 1/2025.
  • Applicants must have completed an accredited residency in general adult psychiatry.
  • Applicants must have a J-1 visa as UNC Health Care does not sponsor H-1B visas.
• You are welcome to submit an optional writing sample(s) as a supplement to your application. These may include but are not limited to a case report, research paper, or literature review.

Interviews

In accordance with recommendations from the ACLP Executive Committee, AADPRT, and AAMC, we will continue to host virtual interviews during “Fridays in September and October”. Applicants are invited to join an interactive day consisting of a program information session; interviews with the program director and CL faculty members; attendance at our weekly CL Case Conference; Q&A session with current fellows; and an optional “virtual happy hour” to get to know our faculty and fellows in a more casual setting. Interview invitations are sent by email in late August to early September.
