The New England Journal of Medicine is inviting physicians to apply for a paid editorial fellowship that offers hands-on experience in academic medical publishing.
The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) has announced that applications are open for its 2027–2028 editorial fellowship, a programme designed to give physicians direct insight into how one of the world’s most widely read medical journals selects and shapes its published research.
The fellowship offers fellows a working understanding of the editorial process — specifically, the analyses and considerations that determine which articles make it into print. According to NEJM’s post, the programme is also intended to provide knowledge that fellows can carry into their broader careers.
The journal did not specify in its post how many places are available, describing the number only as “several.”
For doctors or academics based in Kent — whether at the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University, or within NHS Kent and Medway ICB — a fellowship at a journal of NEJM’s standing could carry real professional weight. Editorial experience at this level is relatively rare and tends to be sought after in academic medicine and research roles.
NEJM has not published a closing date for applications in this announcement. Interested applicants should check the journal’s official website directly for eligibility criteria, deadlines, and further details.
