What if the number of gastroenterology fellowship applicants declines?
Although a decline in applications is not immediately foreseeable, internal medicine and gastroenterology fellowship training programs are dynamic and will continue to undergo change as new and emerging technologies and teaching methods develop. The gastroenterology community must work to ensure that gastroenterology remains a subspecialty that is attractive to applicants. It is important to note that infectious diseases and other subspecialties maintain a successful fellowship Match despite a close-to-equal number of applicants for available positions.
