No. Fellowships are not through the match because they are not part of the ASHP accreditation.

No match system. Many programs offer/commit fellows shortly into the new year.

Do you mean that you interview and find out about your acceptance like in january? How long do you usually have before accepting an offer?

Depending on the program, some may actually start interviewing in December shortly after midyear. Without a match system, programs have an incentive to move the process along.

Typically you would have anywhere from 72 hours to a week to accept an offer. This is program specific and it should say in an offer letter.
