SubI's on ERAS

So I've been browsing whether or not SubI's should be listed under the 'experiences' section.

ERAS says you 'can' list them, however general consensus seems to vary between 'no' and 'possibly, to display specific interest'

I was wondering as a graduated IMG from Europe, if explaining my experiences is relevant? I have other non-rotation stuff listed already so I'm not trying to fluff...but was wondering how else to mention my dedication to certain fields.

I mentioned my away rotations and USCE in my PS but didn't go into such great detail as to list length, responsibilities, etc (just what I got out of them). In my diploma transcript sent to ECFMG they're listed, but I am not sure if that is the transcript issued to ERAS from my school.

Any input helps.

It's your choice, fine either way.

US MD grads should NOT list a home SubI as an experience, it's an expected part of their training
US MD grads might list an away rotation as an experience, although I wouldn't.
Carib IMG's (and other IMG programs that routinely include US rotations like UQ, some of the Israeli programs, etc) should (in general) NOT list US rotations -- again, an expected part of their education that will be on MSPE.
US DO and IMG's that make a specific effort to rotate at an MD institution, totally reasonable to list.

In all cases, LOR's from the experience are the most important part of the puzzle, hence doesn't really matter what you do with the experience section

I have the letters but just wanted to be sure about inclusion...since I assume CV is viewed before letters.

Thank you for clarifying this!
