Fellowship July start with COVID

[Rez87]

Hi All,

I am due to start a cardiac imaging fellowship in July, however I'm not sure I will be able to make it over with the current pandemic situation as I am coming from Australia, and there are significant travel restrictions.

Understandably it is a very difficult and stressful time, but has anyone heard if fellowships will commence as usual, or are people getting re-deployed to other departments? Is anyone in a similar situation and would programs be likely to delay commencement dates in view of this situation?

Any thoughts or help would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

My fellowship assures is we will be starting on time and without any changes to our roles/redeployment/expectations

I think it may depend on the geographical area. NYC vs other places?

Only speculating, but I would wager that by that time it shouldn’t be a big issue for you, especially being in an “essential” role as a physician. Only exception I could see is if you were going to NYC...
