What should I do next, please

I have already finished ERAS application and would like to participate in the Osteopathic match. On the AOA website there is an INTERN/RESIDENT REGISTRATION- is that the one I should do next in order to apply to the osteopathic programs? How about the National Matching Services..Do they have a separate registration too?

Thank you
 
You should apply to osteopathic programs via ERAS as your next step. You certainly can sign up for either or both of the matches (and the fees aren't that high), or you could interview first and then sign up later once you know whether you plan to participate in the DO match, the NRMP, or both.
 
Thank you all for your response.
If I can get interview only by applying through ERAS then I will wait until I get interview and sign up to either osteopathic or allopathic match later.
I looked http://www.natmatch.com/aoairp/index.htm as studyguide123 said and I have found only this- AOA Intern/Resident Registration Program under Applicant Registration. I guess this is the only one we need beside ERAS. Please let me know if there is an additional sign up required for NMS.
Thank you to all of you again

The NRMP regular registration deadline is Nov 30th. If you register by then, it's $50.
The late registration deadline is Feb 23rd (which is when ROL's are due also). There's a $50 late fee so it's $100.
Realistically you need to register for the NRMP before Feb 23rd if you plan to rank programs, since I can't rank you if you haven't registered and many programs submit their ROL's before the deadline.

The AOA match recommends that you register by Nov 1. Their final registration deadline appears to be Jan 28. They do not appear to have a late fee.
