ERAS- Training tab

Any advice on where to put UK post-graduate medical training on ERAS?
I have completed 4 years of post-graduate medical work including 2 years Foundation and then 2 years General Medicine.
The reason I'm unsure if I should put it in the 'training' tab is because it only gives options for 'MD Residency' etc which TECHNICALLY this wasn't as we do MBChB not MD and we don't call it residency (even though it is the equivalent).
I don't really want to just put it in 'work experience' though as I think 4 years of post-graduate medical training is pretty significant.

Put it under the training tab; ERAS doesn't differentiate between the different degrees or training schemes around the world nor should you. You are overthinking this.

Thanks. I only ask because a lot of the application is very specific to American Graduates (ie. licensure: I have a UK license but not a STATE license so I can't enter it). It seems from the application that mostly US specific training/license/experience is recognized so it didn't seem a complete stretch to imagine that it might only give recognition to US training.
I will put it in training, thank you.

Yep it's geared toward Americans because that's who uses it the most. Same goes for other countries: Australian mail envelopes only have 4 boxes for the postal code when the US code is a minimum of 5 numerals. You just have to be flexible.

Yes completely appreciate that. Just checking to make 100% sure that it's deemed ok to be flexible & wouldn't be seen as dishonest. Thanks for the help.
