Advice on how to mention publications on ERAS

[mr1226]

Hello everyone,

I have conducted a study for which I presented the findings at 2 separate national conferences resulting in 2 published abstracts and 1 oral presentation. This also has been published in a journal. Is it okay to list ALL of these on ERAS? Or listing multiple published abstracts, poster presentations, oral presentations, and journal publication related to a single study considered padding in the eyes of a fellowship committee reviewer?

I have heard mixed responses to this question at my program. I don't want to appear as if I am padding my CV as this is looked upon unfavorably to a reviewer. Any advice from fellowship faculty or PDs would be greatly appreciated.

Listing all would be padding. I would list the oral, and the journal article (only if this was a separate full length manuscript and not just a published conference abstract).

Don't list conference abstracts published in the journal supplement that every large meeting puts out. Just the poster/presentation.

gutonc its interesting that you say this. I guess it is in contrast to the guidelines posted by atsai3 in the thread linked below. But then again that was for medical students applying for residency.

ERAS 'Publications' Listing FAQ

Here are a few guidelines regarding what can or should be represented in the various sections of your Common Application Form (CAF). What can I list under "Peer Reviewed Journal Articles/Abstracts"? Articles that have been published in a peer-reviewed journal. Abstracts that have been...

Thank you guys for your input.

Not applying to GI. But what I’m doing is putting posters/orals as such (were I actually did the presentation and I’m first author). Where it got tricky is projects I put some work in (and I think programs will be interested) but I didn’t present or I’m a middle of the pack author. Those I put in the “peer reviewed abstract” section, unfortunately those go together with your actual full manuscripts so it looks weird IMO, but I don’t know if there’s somewhere else to put them.

What for sure looks like padding is putting the presentation and the abstract (even worse if you also include the full manuscript).

List them all you are not lying about any of it, you are taking credit for what you have done, most interviewers won't have looked at your portfolio more than 5 minutes before you interview, If at all, just dont lie about anything just tell them exactly what you said above and be prepared to discuss the research thoroughly

When I see the same-ish title multiple times in a CV, it doesn’t count more

Does this also apply to a single study where I did a poster/oral then a full manuscript? For instance, I have a few studies where it was presented at a local meeting, then a national meeting, then published. Does this count against me and should I delete the local meeting?

Yes. I think it's reasonable to list both a national meeting poster and a publication from the same project. But not the 6 hospital/local/state/regional/super-regional meetings you also presented the same poster at.
