Hi all,
So I'm in the process of getting my ERAS application put together, and I have some questions I hope some of You can answer.
I'm an IMG, with a full license to practice medicine in my home country. Should I put this under the tab "Medical Licenses", or just mention it in my PS? Since my license isn't from the US or a US territory, how should I fill in "state"?
Some programs require 1 year of clinical experience in the US or UK - do You think that any western European country would suffice (ie. instead of UK experience, experience from Germany, France, Sweden etc)? When writing to program coordinators, they don't answer this question. I understand that clinical experience from Europe isn't considered equivalent of US clinical experience, but when they state that UK experience is acceptable, I would think experience from another Western European country would be ok.
And another - this time stupid - question. I noticed that many programs ask for both a complete ERAS application and a CV. My guess is that the CV is automatically generated from the ERAS application - is that correct?
Thanks,
Prop
