Why an Early ERAS Submission Will Help You

by Michelle A. Finkel MD, Insider Medical Admissions

When I was an Assistant Residency Director evaluating ERAS, I was impressed with residency applicants who submitted their materials early. I figured those were the people who were on-the-ball and would make reliable residents. Also, early in the season, when I had only a few applications to assess, I was able to spend extra time on each ERAS. Later in the season, when I was flooded with applications, I could only give each one its allotted time.

For those two reasons, I strong recommend submitting your ERAS on September 1. Please contact me now so that you can achieve that goal.
