Our Interprofessional Advanced Fellowship in Addiction Treatment does not participate in the NRMP Match or ERAS. Applicants apply through a VA Boston–specific application process, with selection based on program-defined criteria and timelines.

Please submit a letter of interest, CV, and the names of three references.

The letter of interest should describe an applicant’s interest in the program, a summary of educational, clinical, and research experience relevant to application, and a statement of career goals.

All materials for the Advanced Fellowship should be submitted electronically to john.renner@va.gov.
