Just a reminder that
U.S. medical students can already register for MyERAS and can start inputting their application materials.
IMGs must wait until June 21 for their tokens and then they, too, can register. Both groups can "assign" their documents early September, which means that at that time they can start sending their completed applications to ACGME-accredited residencies.
DO candidates for AOA-accredited residencies have a somewhat accelerated cycle; please check it out
here.
No matter what camp you are in, please start working on your materials early. Good writing takes a lot of time, and that mad rush at the end is never strategic.
