Fellowship scramble???

Can anyone tell me what I can do if I don’t match into a fellowship position? There doesn’t appear to be a structured scramble. Has anyone (or have you heard of anyone who has) been able to find a position after the match. Does it happen in minutes like the residency scramble or do programs take their time to interview candidates (because there is 12 months before the job starts unlike the 3 ½ months between the residency match and when the programs begins). Is ERAS still available to send my documents? Should I have copies of all of my documents and be ready to fax/email them on match day? How would I get letters of recommendation if I waived my right to see them?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

On match day, you can see which programs still have open slots. You can contact them directly. Someone from my residency got a spot like that, and as I recall, most of them tended to invite people to interview.

But, if you're applying to rheum, unless you geographically limited yourself (or wanted to only go to ultra-competitive places), you should be fine.
