A Fellowship is a medical training period, in the United States and Canada, which a doctor or dentist may perform after completing a special training program (residency). During this time (usually more than one year), doctors are known as Associates . Fellows are able to act as Attending Physicians or Doctor Consultants in the field of generalists in which they are trained, such as Internal Medicine or Pediatrics. Upon completion of the Fellowship in the relevant sub-specialization, Doctors are allowed to practice without direct supervision by other physicians in sub-specialties, such as Cardiology or Oncology.

United States
In the United States, the majority of scholarships are accredited by the Board of Accreditation for Post-Graduate Education ("ACGME"). There are some programs that are not accredited, but are actually well received, given the importance of becoming a Board Certified Doctor in a major specialty, where Fellowship is often based more on research productivity.
