Get help with your application
Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
enough to get you at least 3 interviews, i'd say 5-10.
Is prelim considered as "traditional year" under ERAS?

There are also "Preliminary" programs under Internal Medicine and General Surgery. Apparently, there are Preliminary years in other specialties like Peds and OB/GYN, but you'll have to make sure they're ABA/ACGME compliant for Anesthesiology PGY1.
Dang. Looks like I'm going to have to apply to more programs than I thought thanks to the whole prelim thing.
In terms of the personal statement and LoRs, does this need to reflect "medicine/surgery" or could it all reflect "anesthesiology"?

Just use the same PS/letters. Good luck!
You're awesome, thanks!
Our medicine advisor told us (for prelim medicine) to use the same letters.
For the PS, just add another final paragraph why a medicine year will help you.
