John Hopkins Fellowship App Question

Does anyone else have a hard time navigating their site for information on how to apply for subspecialty fellowships?

The list of fellowships is here with fellowship director info: http://pathology.jhu.edu/department/training/fellowinfo.cfm

The application is here (one of the more archaic ones I've seen): http://pathology.jhu.edu/department/training/fellowship.cfm

1) It isn't obvious to me where exactly to send an application to -- is there a centralized place that receives applications?

2) The application itself is quite outdated -- the PDF file is not even editable (unless you use "typewriter mode" of Adobe Pro); there's not even an obvious place to add your CV.

Am I missing something here or is the ambiguous process itself intentional?

Any information on 1) specifically where to send the application and 2) personal experiences with he process are appreciated.

Thanks!

Drop an email to the fellowship director of whatever it is you want to do. That'll be the best way.

Its a test, if you can't figure this one out, they don't want you coming! I had to find a typewriter for my fellowship apps, that is a feat in itself.

My impression (I didn't apply there as they didn't have a fellowship I was interested in, so this is secondhand/hearsay at best) was that each subspecialty essentially had its own independent application scheme. Everyone I can think of who went through it seemed to communicate with the fellowship director rather than a centralized administrator. As an example, one subspecialty fellowship evidently had no idea a person had also applied to another subspecialty fellowship in the same department, which I guess one could take as either bad communication/administration or just evidence of separation of the tentacles of the octopus so one doesn't always know what the other is doing (not unexpected in a large department). It's pretty common that a GME office "requires" certain information and may provide standard forms that every specialty is supposed to use for everything from residency applications for IM to fellowship applications for neuropathology, but in practice a program may have other ways to satisfy GME.

In general I agree with the notion of contacting a fellowship director..er..directly, with any questions, etc.
