With suspension of clinical rotations, prometrics center closing for at least a month, Step 2 CS suspension, and much more, it's hard to see that the upcoming match cycle would be business as usual. Let's have a centralized place here to talk about how all of this might shake out.

- Delay of ERAS deadline?
- Step 2 CS still required?
- Elective SubI changes?
- Research year?

I think due to the timing crunch people will be taking fewer away rotations/subIs at other institutions.
As for the other things? While I can't see the future, if things are back to normal by late May I'd bet it will mostly be business as usual (aka normal ERAS, CS still required-though maybe by graduation rather than by interview season, requirements). I just don't think medical institutions are nimble enough to make these sweeping changes and I don't think they'll want to potentially compromise education quality.
