Miscellaneous ERAS questions

Members don't see this ad.

These are just random questions I have that I hard time finding on SDN. So I have several thoughts on my mind...I am a resident applying for fellowship.

1. In the section, additional information where it lists medical societies, medical school awards, other awards and accomplishments...Is this all just during time in medical school or is it for now currently, or both?

2. The work experiences section, I included a non-medical professional position there. I also have a couple of science like job experiences during undergrad related to engineering is that ok to put there as well? Also, what about moonlightinh during residency should that be a part of this section or is it not worth mentioning. I have moonlighted in the our ICU on mostly all my elective months during residency.

3. Ok this is a dumb question. the state medical license section that doesn't include our temporary license we have in residency does it? I see a DEA number which is I have like all the other residents except last several digits are different for all of us. I don't have my full license yet, guess I will be applying this upcoming yr.

4. Publications section. I put a poster presentation I did at a conference intern yr. What about case reports I have submitted or will be submitting but have not yet heard about if accepted. It would be nice to put that in, but where?

If anyone would be able to help me out with the above that would be awesome. Thanks so much guys!

1) You should list things from residency- I imagine you have a membership in your specialty society. You can also put teaching awards, research awards, or anything similar that you have earned while a resident. Medical school awards should be limited to the big things like named scholarships or AOA - not "Histology Student of the Year."

2) Don't put down your childhood paper route, but those engineering jobs are fine- it's legit adult work history. I'm actually not sure about moonlighting because I've never been at a place that allowed it. My first thought is to include it.

3) Put your training license and specify that it's training.

4) Put any posters or orals you've done in addition to published articles. Anything that is accepted and not yet published, put under "Pending publication." If it hasn't been accepted yet, don't put it.

Good luck!!

Another question alum or anyone else, what about morning report presentations, M&Ms, journal club that you have done in residency should that be on your application? If so, should you give examples or list the actual topics for lecture (I'm at smaller program so have done a lot of presentations)??

I wouldn't recommend listing those. That's part of residency training.

I've got a question. Under the experiences tab, they tell you what to include where (i.e., clinical and teaching experiences are "work"). What if, while involved in one organization, you had "volunteer" (committee) work experience AND "work" (teaching) experience? Do you list them separately?

Pick one. Nobody cares about them anyway and doubling up is just CV padding.

How should experience in peer review for journals be entered? Volunteer experience?
