She is completing a yearlong public-interest fellowship in criminal defense sponsored by the New York law firm Sidley Austin, to which she is to return in January.
"She was asking about the process, like how you go about applying for public-interest fellowships," Ms. Greenier says.
My family and my law firm have even funded a public interest law fellowship at the Law School.
(Table 4) # All background characteristics except those shown in table here were not significantly associated with GIM or subspecialty scores (p = NS) Twelve residents (23.5%) expressed initial interest in fellowship training.
Mr. Maher (left), 28, is in a yearlong public-interest law fellowship at New York Public Radio in New York, working on contracts, Federal Communications Commission compliance issues and intellectual property issues.
Non-interest in fellowship was defined by not having participated in a fellowship application process, irrespective of future intent.
Mean objective knowledge percentile scores were compared between those with fellowship interest and those without fellowship interest using a Two-sample T- test.
Firstly, the finding that the need to be competitive was a major and significant factor that influenced the study patterns of IM residents with fellowship interest compared to their counterparts without fellowship interest; Secondly, the finding that a majority (75%) of IM residents with fellowship interest had spent at least 2-3 months rotating through their sub-specialty interest areas.
A resident with fellowship interest could have lower IM-ITE scores, not because of his interest in fellowship training but because he had lost touch with academic medicine due to a long interval between graduation and commencement of residency training.
We hypothesized that residents with fellowship interest would have lesser knowledge of IM than their counterparts without fellowship interest.
However, residents with fellowship interest were more likely to study so as to be competitive, compared to residents without fellowship interest (p = 0.03).
