I'm going through the process right now (currently in my final year of child neurology training). I have half of my interviews still to go. It's interesting - since this is the first year of the Match for sleep medicine, no one is quite sure how many programs to apply to, and my impression is that the programs don't have a good feel for how many people to interview. I've met people on the interview trail who applied to every program participating in the NRMP. And then there are the little snafus, like Jefferson being listed as an ERAS/NRMP program when they actually are not participating (so that was a wasted application, they had already filled), and Vanderbilt participating in the NRMP, but not in ERAS (they are still using their own application).
Another change now that there is a Match: many programs try to engineer a fellowship class with a good mix of pulm, neuro, and psych, as well as getting a mix of adult and pediatric trainees. Now, there is no way to do that, so those programs will have to get used to the idea that they may end up with all pulmonologists, or all neurologists.
It seems that for Match programs, all of the interviewing is happening in September and the first half of October. I completed all my application material by early August, but if people are interested in non-Match programs, they should probably be applying much earlier than that.
