2027 Training Fellow Cohort Match Rules

AACS Certified Cosmetic Surgery Fellowships use a match process (the “Match”) to allow Program Directors an opportunity to interview Training Fellow applicants in an orderly manner.

AACS Match Rules: The following rules must be followed by both the Applicants and Program Directors. Violations may result in loss of opportunity for both parties to participate in the match process.

• All Fellowship Programs interested in contracting a July 2027 Training Fellow must participate in the Match.  Applications for January start dates are handled on a rolling basis.
• Fellowship Programs and Applicants agree not to make any appointments before the Match. Neither party may request a commitment from the other during or after the interview. Statements like “I will rank you first if you rank me first…”, are against the rules.
• All rank lists must be submitted by the deadline of June 1, 2026, and are confidential. No changes to rank lists will be accepted after the deadline.
• The Fellowship Program and Applicant are bound by the Match results unless the Applicant does not meet the prerequisite requirements or cannot obtain a state medical license where the Fellowship Program is located.
