Reviewer notes: The fetched departmental page is dated (applications 'beginning July 1, 2018'); the C-STEP page names co-directors KuoJen Tsao, MD and Lillian S. Kao, MD, MS but gives no deadline or application process. APSA research directory also lists a C-STEP health services fellowship (2 years, PGY-2 minimum, programme-director and chair letters; 2-4 calls/month; updated Sept 2023).
