Hi- I realize that there are many threads about ERAS publications and how to format them, however, I haven't found any that touch on this particular problem. ERAS forces you to type something into the "issue number" box (as well as the "volume number" and "pages" box). Many publications do not...

Hi everyone, I was hoping to get some feedback regarding a current situation that is particularly distressing to me as I move forward to (hopefully) recontinue my career in medicine I recently was dismissed from my residency shortly into my intern (PGY-1) year after a few episodes of being...

So the odds are looking against me from what I can tell, I'm a 3rd year just got back my scores of USMLE 218, COMLEX 541, and bottom quarter of class. I was president of the Anesthesiology club at my school but not much else Anesthesia related. What do you think about my shot at getting an...

Hello, this is my first time posting..I usually lurk but I need some help. Please no trolls or insensitive people. I went to a DO school and due to difficulties with boards and other personal issues, my education was extended for extra 2 years. So I finally finished it and was able to get my...

Hey guys, My question has been asked a lot in the past but no one is really sure what the right answer is, so here goes: Can we use bulletpoints in ERAS (eg for experiences, awards, memberships etc)? Thanks

Would being an MCAT course instructor during undergrad be worth including in ERAS? I resigned prior to beginning medical school. Would a summer job that I kept from high school through the 1st year of medical school be worth including? It has no relation to medicine whatsoever. Thanks!

I have an active registered nurse license (in the US). My Designated Dean's Office (at a US allopathic school) told me that my license (including state, number, expiration) should go in the section labeled "State Medical Licenses." The woman who does our ERAS training insists that any...

Applying to IM residency, bottom of the class - don't even ask me about my attributes, I have more red flags than a redflag convention, I need help with compiling a list of the less and least competitive programs, would appreciate suggested lists and resources for looking up program...

Good morning! Anyone out there either applying for pediatric rheumatology this year or anyone who's been through this process recently? Would love to have a group to post through the cycle and would love any advice that prior applicants may have when applying to pediatric rheumatology. Thanks!

Hi y'all, I completed 2 years of OB/GYN residency in good standing. Was let go because I did not pass USMLE Step 3 within the allotted three attempts here in Texas. Had family issues at the time, and once I settled that I took the exam again and improved my score by +30 points. I'm going to...

Wanted opinions and a poll that were more up to date (2017) Writing a unique personal statement is one of the milestones toward getting a match. This task can be specially challenging for IMGs who might not have a great English language skills or even if they have they may still don't know...

I am a non US IMG, will be applying for MATCH 2018 and really want to get into EM. From the SAP Crystal Reports 2016 MATCH, only 18 non US IMG get into EM that has 1891 position available. If anyone has any information, connection, friends, friend of friend, rumors, etc. about which hospital...

So I got the bad news today. Didn't match Ortho in the Osteopathic match. Thought about doing EM and applied to it, but decided way late that I'd rather scramble than commit to a life of ER medicine. So I am stuck in a seriously bad place. Still haven't accepted any DO positions such as TRI's...

Hi, I am currently a 3rd year medical student interested in applying for ACGME neurology residency. My medical school class size is huge (in the 200's), but we only match 1-3 neuro residencies per year. So I don't really have too many alumni to turn for advice. I apologize if this type of...

So I received an email today from a fellowship program stating that they did not receive information about my preliminary year. I did not add that in the ERAS training section. I just went simply to the radiology residency section. I have contacted ERAS, and they said there is nothing that can...

Hi, I noticed that I forgot to assign/release my USMLE transcript scores two weeks after September 15th. I noticed because I hadn't been getting any interview invites. Since completing my application around October 1st, I haven't gotten any interview invites. I am very competitive for my...

Failed CS first attempt. Luckily I was able to retake it soon after I saw my score. I submitted my ERAS application last week. I won't get the results of my 2nd attempt until Oct. 12. The only scores they can see on my USMLE transcript are STEP 1 (passed 1st attempt), CK (passed 1st attempt)...

Would it look bad to have membership to other professional societies in addition to FM on my application?? (Ex member of OB/GYN, Med-Peds?)

I am applying to a specialty with generally high USMLE cutoffs, but neglected to assign my USMLE to actual programs until now (app submitted on first day), assuming it would assign automatically after I authorized it. I am wondering if programs that may have seen empty fields for the USMLE...

Hi, I will be submitting my ERAS application tomorrow. I just got my CK score yesterday, but my CS score is not in yet!! If I submit my ERAS application before my CS score comes in, how will programs see it?? With so many applicants to review, do programs really GO BACK and re-download...

I tried to search for the answer to this and couldn't find it. Apologies in advance if this has already been asked. US IMG here. I've submitted applications for this cycle but I am still waiting on my LoRs from US physicians. I have one that's processed in ERAS and ready to go, but it's...

Hey, I was wondering if there was anyway in which we could choose a specific Letter of Recommendation to show up first when the programs download our application. As in I know which letters are my strongest and would prefer the best one to be read first rather than the other way around. Does...

Congrats to everyone for submitting their IR Integrated RESIDENCY application for the 2017 cycle. Let's start up a thread to help each other keep abreast of interview dates. Similar threads for other specialties have the following format (DR thread...

Hi everyone, I'm in a stressful situation I'm a carrib IMG with step 1 213 and am applying for Family Medicine programs (mostly in California) this match year, however, my step 2 ck result will not be back until mid-October (oct 12th). Can someone with similar experience please comment on this...

Hey guys, sorry to add to the deluge of MS4 threads, but as ERAS is closing in, I'd like your input about my list of programs. Specifically, I could use help in stratifying these into Reach/Probable/Safety. I'd also like your completely subjective opinions about these programs. My info: Ms4 at...

I have a question about matching into a spouses residency program. My fiance in a surgical residency as a PGY2 . I am applying to pediatrics and would like to match into his hospital/university. The peds program there is not really competitive. I was wondering how much weight the program will...

So, I applied to radiology last year and did not match. I am planning on dual applying this year into internal medicine and radiology. However, I do not know what to put on my ERAS experience page. Since not matching, I have some research experience in radiology. And, I did some externship in...

I know this is the opposite of what people usually have to deal with, but in my case the LOR writer wrote my letter waaaaaay sooner than I expected. Here's what happened... I am in a dual degree program so this is technically my 5th year in medical school. Last year (4th year) I was on an...

Hey everyone, I am wondering by when I have to take CK for it to be helpful in applying to the 2017 Match. I am an IMG. I know that we can start sending out applications to programs on September 6th, and that programs won't be able to view our applications until September 15th. What would...

Just to clarify about ERAS publication listings, if you had an abstract accepted to, say ATS 2016, and presented the poster yourself at the conference, this abstract is inputted as both "Poster Presentations" AND "Peer-reviewed Journal Article/Abstracts" on myERAS? I've read at the ERAS FAQs...

Hi Fellas, kindly provide me any information regarding the Anesthesiology residency program at the NY methodist hospital, Brooklyn, NY. As their site gives no information regarding it, and they do not participate in the ERAS match.

Dear All, I am a seasoned USMLE Step 1 and 2CK tutor. I've been tutoring for 3 years now and myself achieved > 250 on Step 1 and Step 2CK. I am also an IMG and have trained at renowned institutions such as Hopkins and others. In teaching and training over a hundred students, I have developed a...

Multiple red flags all over the place. How can I address this issue without focusing on the situation leading up to failing step 1? I had family and marital issues, but "issues" will always be there and I want to highlight my growth in dealing with issues and provide confidence this issue will...
