Anyone applying for microsurgery fellowship this year (for 2026 positions) and would like to share information? I don't seem to be able to find a thread like that and would like to connect with fellow applicants.

Was searching for a micro fellowship thread to get an idea of which programs have sent out interviews.

I applied to 19 programs and heard back from 5 so far.

These are the ones I received (program/date invite sent/in-person vs virtual/interview dates):

Penn/ 3.4.25/ in-person/ 4.4.25,4.5.25
UDub/ 3.10.25/ virtual/4.25.25,4.26.25
CC/ 3.10.25/ in-person/ 5.7.25
OSU/ 3.10.25/ in-person/ 5.16.25
UCI/ 3.11.25/ in-person/ 4.19.25

Please feel free to add to this list😊
 
I am adding to the list based on what I know. Feel free to update if anyone knows of any others or as more invites are sent.

Thank YOU! I will update the list with these ones. Do you remember when Corewell and UChicago sent out the invites (just so we are consistent with the list format)?

I locked the duplicate thread. Figured adding "2025" to the title would make it easier to find the thread on Google search.

How many programs is everyone applying to? I'm starting to feel like I should have applied more broadly...

I added "2025" to the title of the thread as you suggested. Hopefully, more people will chime in.

I applied to 30 programs, primarily because my in-service scores are low and I know I needed to apply broadly.

Are there programs that you like/hope to get into that you haven't received interview invites?
 
I was hoping to get invites from MD Anderson and Memorial Sloan Kettering. They seem like really great programs. Also, they have the most positions out of any program, so seems like chances to match there may be higher...

Yes, i am waiting/hoping to get invites from these two as well. The application deadline for MD Anderson was 03/05. Not sure if they are just taking some time to go over all of the applications or if they have sent out invites but I didn't get selected. MSK doesn't show application deadline, so not sure when we can expect invites (if we are getting one).
 
I feel like they'd probably be interviewing a good number of applicants if they are going for 5-10 candidates per spot. Who knows? Hopefully we hear from them soon🤞. The suspense is killing me!
 
Members don't see this ad :)
I know! The suspense and wondering if I may get an invite is awful! It feels like back to the days of applying for med school and residency!! Let's keep each other updated here. I will update the list if/when I hear more from other programs.
 
I know both heavily favor rotators, especially msk, I didn’t rotate at either so I’m not surprised I haven’t heard from msk. Md Anderson I’m not as sure, I’d suspect they’d have to interview a lot of people though

That's unfortunate (for me at least) because our program doesn't have allowance for away rotations in our schedule. I hope that the lack of away rotations at my end won't impede my chances at matching 🙁

Looking at the application deadlines for the various programs, looks like Yale, Brigham and Women's, USC, Cedars-Sinai, and MD Anderson all have deadlines in the first week of March. I don't see them on the list above. Not sure if they haven't sent out invites yet (>2 weeks since their deadlines now) or if they may have and we just didn't know.
 
Hi All. I haven’t heard from any programs other than what’s already on the list, either.
 
@BMC2026 thanks so much for chiming in, appreciate it! Please keep us posted when you hear additional updates so we can get this thread up-to-date with info for anyone interested.
 
@BMC2026, thanks! Same interview date for both programs - that will be a challenge but so glad that you are getting all these invites!

I find it interesting that a few programs sent out invites before the posted application deadlines on SF Match...
 
Yes, also interesting that some programs don't even have a stated application deadline while others have deadlines are a month or two later than 03/01. And some programs sent out invites shortly after/immediately after their deadline while others still haven't sent our invites (at least not that we are aware of) even though their deadline was 3 weeks ago. So wild, can't make sense of all these....
