DO applying to EM sub-I/auditions questions

[ipressurexd]

Hi all, I am a DO 3rd year looking to apply to EM audition rotations. I have a few questions regarding this process.

1. I did not take step 1 and most locations ask for a step score report. Should I upload a level p/f score or should I call the location to see if they will accept it?

2. How many auditions should I apply to per month? If I end up getting accepted to a few but they are all within the same month, should I ask to reschedule?

3. My advisor suggested applying early to get the SLOE letter ASAP and have a few more on file before residency apps open. Are the dates most people apply for range from july-november for their auditions? Do later auditions during the app cycle hurt?


Thank you all so much!

Given the number of unfilled EM positions in the match last year, I'm going to presume that the DO equivalent of Steps would be acceptable. You should still contact programs that specify USMLE, though.

Thanks for the reply. I had a question also about auditions. Currently, I'm offered one for 10/23-11/14. Is this considered a bit late to get a SLOE?

Not for your ERAS application.

How were your clinicals?
