Not really.

BUT.

If it's on your MSPE you better mention it. It doesn't need to be mentioned in your MSPE but it might be, and you should know this.

Still not really a gap in your education, but make sure it comes up in your app somehow if it's in the MSPE.

Thanks for the response. So should I answer "yes" to the question on ERAS regarding gaps in medical education?

1. Ask the question you want answered...it'll make this easier.

2. Talk to your Dean or MSPE writer.
