The VA Special Fellowship Program offers post-residency fellowships to physicians in emerging health professions that are of particular importance to VA and the Nation. Right now, such specialties include spinal cord injury medicine, war-related and unexplained illness, health issues for women veterans, and many others.

For those interested in developing research and leadership skills in any of these fields, the program provides outstanding opportunities for post-residency research, education, and clinical training. Participants serve as trainees on a temporary, full-time employment basis at one of the fellowship sites for the duration of the appointment period. VA provides two or three years of stipend/salary support for each fellow.
