Hey everyone I had a question regarding my upcoming pulmonary/critical care fellowship application on ERAS, which is beginning to open soon. Before I went through my current residency position (where I am currently a PGY-3 chief resident), I was briefly at a program for about 3 months before I...

Hi! I'm looking for a site or something where I can search all (or most) of the US residencies in internal medicine and rank them by least to most competitive. Is there such a thing? I don't want to waste time/money applying somewhere that my chances of being accepted are almost none.

Hello, I have to disclose 2 prior arrests when it comes to my ERAS app (Both are marijuana possession charges). These happens 7-6 years from when I will apply to residency. Both charges were dismissed (so no conviction) ERAS asks: 1. Have you been convicted of a felony? 2. Have you been...

Dear prospective interns and medical students! As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's application cycle for plastic surgery residency will be a little different than years before since we are unsure if we will likely be unable to offer Sub-Internships or in-person interviews later...

Hello, I’m a 1st year DO student and I wanted advice on applying to residency considering my history. I have been arrest twice for possession of MJ. The first arrest was in 2015 (when I was 20) and the second arrest was in mid 2017 (when I was 21). I’m in the class of 2023. The first arrest...

I'm currently a DO third year wanting to apply for general surgery this September. I arranged my schedule to stupidly have my two general surgery rotations this April and May ( I decided to try for general surgery mid of third year). It looks like worse case scenario I will not get to do a...

The time is here. I have found various other threads from prior years a lovely source of info, so figured we could start it for this year.

Hi everyone, I submitted my ERAS application this Sunday, and NOW I notice I put a good amount of experiences under the wrong category. I proofread my experiences multiple times on different days and thought I was careful. I don't know how I overlooked the category originally selected. Now I am...

M2 here, looking for some advice/input because SDN can be brutally honest and I think that’s what I need right now. In college, I received a citation for disorderly conduct (not a felony, not a misdemeanor) due to having a small amount of marijuana in my possession. It was a stupid thing that I...

Hi everyone- I have two manuscripts that were submitted to American Journal of Medicine just a few days ago. With my ERAS applications going out tomorrow, I am wondering if this is something I can include somehow in my application or if I have to wait until it becomes confirmed for print and...

Can anyone explain how the ESIR program at Baylor works? To my knowledge they are the only program on ERAS that has a separate ESIR program to apply to directly. An applicant can choose Diagnostic radiology or ESIR. Information online is minimal. Thanks so much.

I have a case series/case report that has been submitted to a journal but is currently "under review." Would it be okay to include this under "research experience"? I have seen a lot of mixed thoughts if case reports actually qualify as research. I just want to include it somewhere because I...

After talking to a number of residents and program directors, I've gotten conflicting advice with almost an even split regarding where to address a board failure on ERAS. Half say to mention it in the personal statement, and half say the personal statement should only be positive and to address...

Posted on the old thread a while ago and didn't see a new thread, but I am looking for advice on how many programs to apply to, and what type of programs I would be considered at. I am happy to do residency anywhere, but if I could be in Cal, AZ, or Texas that would be best (I know California is...

Hey all! Hoping to have a place where people post when they start hearing from programs! I feel like since submitting I have been staring at my phone expecting emails. Good luck!

Hey everyone! I'm getting ready to apply for IM this year and am confused about letters of recommendation. I have 1 from an outpatient endocrine attending, 2 from my core IM rotation attendings, and 1 from my advisor/FM attending who worked with me inpatient (so all 3rd year letters). I have...

I was originally in class of 2019, however, was put in class of 2020. Recently, the ERAS LORP was undergoing "maintenance", after it came back online. MYERAS is asking me for a token and the ERAS LORP doesn't show any of my letter writers. I have worked hard to gather my letters and one of my...

Hi everyone, I'm an IMG interested in applying for child neurology (which I hear is not very IMG friendly, generally, but I'm gonna try to press my luck because I love the field). There are all so little programs that I can apply to in the specialty and I plan on applying to pediatric programs...

sorry, wrong forum!

Hello everyone! I am hoping to make your personal statement writing journey a tad less stressful. I understand what medical school and residency admissions committees want to see in an applicant's essay. Let me help you with grammar corrections, diction, and overall make you and your personal...

Hey guys! So I took step 1 and didn't do so hot; I passed but not by a lot. I'm currently applying to residencies and ERAS has the option to authorize release of USMLE scores. I'm applying to ACGME programs but I wasn't going to send my scores to any places because I think they'll hurt me...

Hey guys, I am an MS4 applying for EM residency and I have been dreading about the bad sloe that is going to be uploaded any day now. I know it's not going to be a good sloe because a person who gave me negative evals said that I was not performing up to the institutions standards couple of...

I applied for neuro a few weeks ago and got one interview call. Today, I received an email from a director at a hospital I applied to pointing out that I messed up the city in my address - I wrote '(city in Florida), CA'. The city is my hometown, and I currently live in CA. I don't know how I...

Quick background: I'm applying into internal medicine and I would like to pursue a fellowship after I'm done with IM.

Hey y'all :hello: So...Do you know how this ERAS thing works? If I match into a residency position somewhere (:xf:) but didn’t apply for a prelim year there through ERAS, can I still interview for a prelim year there? I have heard some rumors that this is the case but wanted to see if any of...

I didn't complete my requirement in time for match last year and was wondering if I can reuse my LORs from last year for this year's match? or would it be better to have my attending update the date of the letter so that programs can see the letter's still valid? Thank you for your advice

Hello, I finished MyEras application but I'm missing my NRMP number since this can be obtained on September 15th. Should I Certify my application without this or should I wait until the 15th and then certify it? Also, how long does it take for the certification to occur? Thank you,

So I'm an newly-minted M2...and I realize I have like zero extracurriculars. I'm taking classes, realize that boards are ahead, and am involved in research, but have no participation in leadership activities like student gov, interest groups, etc like my classmates. I did some shadowing but it...

I am applying to anesthesiology in ERAS 2018-2019. I was wondering whether it would be acceptable to get LORs from anesthesiologists with whom I rotated in my free time during the summer (not as part of a med school clerkship). Otherwise, my anesthesiology rotation would be in September at the...

Hi a few questions about the ERAS app: 1 . I'm getting an LOR from a program director who is also listed a medical education chair on the hospital website - do I click the chair button when preparing the face sheet? 2. Do you use bullets to write about your activities like you would in a...
