  • For fellowships planning to train more than 1 fellow annually:

    Provide a sample schedule that illustrates how the fellowship plans to accommodate multiple learners. A sample schedule is provided here. Note, in this example both learners are never on the same rotation at the same time, but that does not preclude this option if a rotation can provide a robust learning experience for two fellows simultaneously.
