ERAS 2015 Information Now Available for International Medical Graduates (IMGs)

If you are an IMG applying to residency this year, please take a look at the newly available ERAS Support Services section of the ECFMG website. There you'll find important information regarding obtaining your token (available July 1) and submitting your supporting documents.

Note that for ERAS 2015 all letters of recommendation must be submitted through the AAMC's LOR Portal (LoRP) or ECFMG's Medical School Web Portal. The former is for waived letters (highly recommended by me) and the latter is for unwaived ones.

About Me

Years of candidate selection at Harvard taught me what characteristics comprise a desirable applicant and how even bright candidates make mistakes that undermine their admissions success. I am a practicing Emergency Physician with nine years of experience training medical students, residents and fellows. I won three teaching and mentorship awards while at Harvard. Please see Insider Medical Admissions for the full array of personalized services I offer to clients applying to medical school, residency, fellowship and post baccalaureate programs.
