For those still trying to figure out how to sign-up for the residency fair, this is the response I received from an EMRA rep:
"If you are attending just the EMRA events (other than the Medical Student Forum), you don't have to register. Just show up.
If you are wanting to attend the classes at ACEP18, then you would need to register."

It seems like the consensus may be programs likely waiting to invite after ACEP?
Most programs haven’t sent out invites yet! We’re all in the same boat. Hang in there

I read/heard somewhere (I don't remember currently) that only 6% of EM programs send interviews before 10/01, most of us don't have any interviews haha
Maybe it’s just me but I applied to former AOA that are now acgme / dual accredited spots and I have 3 invite. So don’t freak out. Everyone’s right about the wait for mspes

But my MSPE is already uploaded...
My school told me they upload them but they aren’t not viewable until the first. Can someone confirm?

I hope this will ease everyone's minds about interviews. This is 84 program directors polled from NRMP data. I just wanted to encourage everyone that we are all in the same boat and to not freak out! Most interviews extended between October and November when MSPE goes out. Only 6% before. We are all good fam!
The thing is I think we’re at 15% of programs right now I you tally it up and don’t include the one’s with only AIs

I think it reflects % of Interviews extended, not % of programs extending.
Yeah, that isn't good advice. Anyone that told you that you just have to pass your classes and score good enough on boards and that will guarantee a match in EM doesn't understand how to match in EM.

Not specifically about the match into EM, but graduating and matching. I guess Family Medicine in Manitoba has its perks?
My understanding is the former AOA ones and a few of the newer DO friendly ACGME are consistently there.
Quick question, I just received my first SLOE today and was wondering if I should be updating programs at this point? Thanks and good luck everyone!
Question about Home Program Interview:
Is it nothing more than a courtesy interview? I love my home hospital and would be happy staying for residency - but unsure if it is just a courtesy interview. I like to think program would not waste an interview spot if they wouldn't seriously consider ranking me / ranking me to match. Applying with a red-flag hence the self-doubt.
Any insights appreciated.

As with all things...it's program-dependent. My home program interviewed all of us. Sorry, I wish I could be more encouraging!
How is the answer to your question going to change your approach to the interview and ROL?
If your response is anything other than "it won't", then you're doing the Match wrong and should probably just quit now.
Every interview you get is a chance to match. Treat it as such.
Does not change management, but gives insight to relative merits of application and insodoing, extends peace of mind 🙂
I believe the county programs made an agreement not to release interview invites until 10/11 at the earliest.
I don't think you need to update anyone specifically. Make sure you go on ERAS and assign the letter to the programs and save it. That should be enough this early on.
So ive got an interview October 10th... how screwed am I in terms of missing a bunch of good dates being unable to schedule during that time when the huge interview release day comes? lol
very.
because the majority---*most*--- of programs haven't sent out invites yet and won't until most likely the first two weeks of October.

Correct. Every single MSPE is released to programs on October 1st.

Has this actually been stated by any PDs or is it just another ERAS rumor? Anyone have anything solid to back this up???

It’s on multiple county program websites.... 10/11 notifications, 10/12 invite goes out

UT Southwestern sent an email about sending invites on 10/11.
How many places did you apply to? It also depends on how many and where specifically. I don't think you need to be worried right now. Next week more will go out after Dean's letter.
This is solid, was told from someone legit haha. Just take my word for it. It's more like "a lot of" county programs.
If it helps, I also applied to a million and I don't have any interviews either and I think I'm also above avg to an extent, and I'm chilling. I also only know of 1 friend out of like 12 with any EM interviews so far. You probs still freaking out though, so I'll recommend trying to do things to pass the time haha. I realize this is residency apps, no one is going to chill fully until match day. Good luck to you sir/mam!
Question
after scheduling an interview on ERAS, do they send any sort of confirmation for the interview date?

Is it reasonable to think invites won't really be going out this week since most PDs will be at ACEP?
That's what I expect. There seemed to be a little flurry of invites yesterday, and they'll probably start reading most apps Monday when the MSPE is released.
Hard to tell. I think 40% of the programs I applied to are not having a table at the EMRA residency fair... does that mean the PDs aren’t at ACEP? No clue.

If I had to guess I would think the surge will probably start more towards the end of next week and then a lot the week after

Last year’s trend around and after 10/1

Yeah it would be nice to see an invite or two come my way next week, but at this point we probably won't hear much until the 11th.
hey guys so I just noticed a massive typo on my mspe specifically for my third year EM clerkship. My name was misspelled- could be an error from the school coordinator or the attending, not sure. But how ****ed am I? I emailed my school coordinator but doubt it would be fixed before Monday, not even sure if they can re-upload it at this point since I do see the mspe as already uploaded on my eras. Will programs care? Worst feeling ever right now...
You are not the author of your MSPE. Programs know that. I cannot see how that would reflect poorly on you. That would be insane.

Yeah, Id imagine many programs will start sending them out next week.

Yes, almost instantly you will receive an email response confirming the interview date you selected.
Next week as in the week after acep.
+1. Anything we should be looking out for in these? Is losing accreditation an issue or anything (I'm oblivious to that part of it)? There is one program that I'm really interested in and I would be the 3rd class. Have heard great things.
Interesting though York County released invites today
