I withdrew from the most recent match after I supplied all my documents and I will be reapplying for the match in 2012, I was wondering if ECFMG will retain my documents or do I have to resend all my documents and letters of recommendations?

thank you-

Hi

Basically, unless you desire updated materials, your items from 2011 will be fine. The information below is on the ECFMG site, and it was posted last year, so just change the year.

"If you participated in the ERAS 2010 season and also participate in the ERAS 2011 season, you are considered a Repeat Applicant and therefore are not required to resubmit your Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE), medical school transcript, photograph, or letters of recommendation (LoRs). New for ERAS 2011, the process for reusing LoRs has been modified.

The only LoRs that will be available for reuse are those that were transmitted to the ERAS PostOffice during the ERAS 2010 season. If you submitted an LoR but did not finalize the letter writer in MyERAS during ERAS 2010, that LoR was not transmitted to the ERAS PostOffice and will not be available for reuse for ERAS 2011.

After you have completed your request for an ERAS 2011 Token through OASIS, you will be presented with a list of the LoRs that were transmitted to the ERAS PostOffice during ERAS 2010. In order to reuse an LoR for ERAS 2011, you must select the LoR from this list and then save your selections. If you choose not to make your LoR selections at the time of your Token request, you can return to OASIS at a later date to make your selections. However, once you have saved your LoR selections in OASIS, you will not be able to make any changes to the list. If you choose to not use an LoR that you have selected, simply do not assign it to a program. If you choose to use an LoR that you did not select, you will need to resubmit it to ERAS Support Services.

The LoRs you select will be transferred to the ERAS PostOffice within one to two business days from the time that you reserve an electronic slot for the letter writer in MyERAS.

The reuse of LoRs is optional. It is especially helpful for applicants who waived their right to see an LoR and therefore could not request to have it returned to them via the ECFMG Return of Document Service (RODS). Unless the content of a letter has changed, you are strongly encouraged to reuse your LoRs."

To clarify, is Oasis for all repeat applicants or only imgs? Do American medical grads need to register for oasis to keep their lors? Or will they be available for the new application season only through eras?

Thanks

I know this! I know this! Read about it last night. Oasis is for IMGs. Your Dean's office will keep your LORs and stuff for next year.

What the other guy says... but it seems that theres a snag - "If you submitted an LoR but did not finalize the letter writer in MyERAS during ERAS 2010, that LoR was not transmitted to the ERAS PostOffice and will not be available for reuse for ERAS 2011.

I dont actually know what that means.
