To build a national Headache Medicine fellowship opportunities website that promotes a unified application timeline and a more transparent application process.
In July 2019, the Consortium of Academic Headache Program Directors unanimously accepted the recommendations of the American Academy of Neurology Fellowship Application Timing Position Statement. To implement the unified application timeline, the American Headache Society agreed to host a fellowship opportunities website with information on the application process and resources for each fellowship program.
We designed a main landing page that features the unified timeline for applications and offers. The page also features icons for all participating US fellowship programs (identified using the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties certification database). The icons serve as links to each fellowship program's individual webpage. We sent an electronic form to each fellowship program director, asking them to submit program information to be included on each fellowship program's individual webpage. Key contents on each program webpage include an image of the program, brief program description, names of applicants who have filled positions, and open positions. Each institution webpage also includes an electronic form that allows applicants to directly send their name, contact, and a brief message to the program director.
We launched the website on May 15, 2020. As of June 19, 2020, the website featured 24 participating headache fellowship programs, including 5 pediatric programs and 19 adult training programs, from all regions of the US.
The website serves as a central resource for Headache Medicine fellowship applicants and promotes a unified application timeline and a more transparent application process.
建立一个全国性的头痛医学奖学金机会网站，以促进统一的申请时间线和更透明的申请流程。
2019年7月，学术性头痛项目主任联盟一致接受了美国神经病学学会奖学金申请时间立场声明的建议。为了实施统一的申请时间线，美国头痛协会同意主办一个奖学金机会网站，提供申请流程信息和每个奖学金项目的资源。
我们设计了一个主要登陆页面，突出显示申请和录取的统一时间线。该页面还展示了所有参与的美国奖学金项目的图标（使用神经专科联合委员会认证数据库识别）。这些图标可链接到每个奖学金项目的单独网页。我们向每个奖学金项目主任发送了一份电子表格，要求他们提交将包含在每个奖学金项目单独网页上的项目信息。每个项目网页的关键内容包括项目图片、项目简要描述、已填补职位的申请人姓名以及空缺职位。每个机构网页还包括一个电子表格，允许申请人直接向项目主任发送他们的姓名、联系方式和简短信息。
我们于2020年5月15日推出该网站。截至2020年6月19日，该网站展示了来自美国所有地区的24个参与头痛奖学金项目，包括5个儿科项目和19个成人培训项目。
该网站是头痛医学奖学金申请人的核心资源，促进了统一的申请时间线和更透明的申请流程。
