Positions

Mayo Clinic Arizona’s Rheumatology Fellowship uses the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) to receive applicant submissions and document materials, and then The Match service from the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) to select fellows for the training positions.

Important dates and timelines

The submission deadline is no later than August 1 for the next academic year, which starts every July. Completed applications though are reviewed on a rolling basis once ERAS opens.

In-person interviews are offered on a competitive basis. In-person fellowship interview dates are scheduled for September 14, 21 and 28 for 2026.

Lastly, once rankings are submitted, finalized selection through NRMP’s The Match program historically completes in late November to early December. Matched fellows begin the training year in July.
