I know Northwestern is not taking applications for PGY-2 positions starting in 2009. Kinda bummed about this one as I really like Chicago.

UMDNJ - Robert Wood Johnson is not taking applicants this year. I confirmed this with Dr Haffty.

Yeah, unfortunately they waited to pull out of ERAS after I already forked out the cash for the app.

What is the best source of finding out which programs 1) are using ERAS that year and 2) have PGY1/2 positions available that year

I think you just have to call/email the programs directly.

 

[LCK]

Ultimately, you end up having to call/email the program contact to make sure (like I did with Northwestern). But thought I would pass on that FREIDA has this info too for most of the programs (I think Utah was an exception)- just make sure to look at 2009/2010 instead of 2008/2009 if you are a 4th year med student doing a prelim year first. What the person at Northwestern had wrote me sounded like ERAS is just behind FREIDA. And I know it really sucks to pay if the program isn't even taking applications this year. I got lucky to hear a tip from a rad onc graduate to be careful about this.

 

[SchwettieBalls]

So are the quota numbers in NRMP wrong? That says that Northwestern has 3 spots for the 2008 match. It also says Utah has 2 spots.
