Ugh. I started ERAS today and am so confused. I am on the page where you select programs. the programs have options of selecting "advanced (3yrs) and categorical (4yrs). I am applying to radiology and will need a prelim year. if i pick categorical does that mean they take care of the prelim year for me?
 
well for anesthesiology, that what that means (cat=the intern year is built in). Not sure if it's the same for rads.
