Employment search
Twenty-nine of 51 fellows responding reported having successfully secured a post fellowship appointment (57%) while 22 (43%) had not yet secured positions. Five fellows (10%) reported that they had a position nearly secured or secured but that was now in question or on hold due to hiring freezes related to COVID-19. Ten fellows reported they were still actively interviewing for positions. Nine of 37 program directors (25%) responded they would consider temporarily reappointing their fellow as an instructor beyond the end date of the fellowship year in order to support their transition to permanent employment elsewhere.
