  2. ERAS 2013 – the Electronic Residency Application Service – was created to enhancemedical students’ transition to residencyby reducing the amount of time spenton the residency application process

  3. ERAS 2013 Using the Internet, ERAS transmits the following documents from applicants and medical schools to residency program directors: • Residency applications • Letters of Recommendation (LORs) • Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE -aka, your Dean’s letter) • Medical Transcripts and • Photograph

  4. ERAS: Who’s Who . . What’s What? ERAS is made up of four essential components: • MyERAS • Dean’s Office Workstation (DWS) • ERAS PostOffice • Program Director’s Workstation (PDWS)

  5. ERAS: Who’s Who . . What’s What? MyERAS: YOUR ERAS account where you will: • Complete your Common Application Form (CAF) • Request Letters of Recommendation (LORs) • Order your COMLEX scores • Order your USMLE scores • Select your programs and assign documents to the programs where you want to apply

  6. ERAS: Who’s Who . . What’s What? The Office of Student Affairs is your Dean’s Office Workstation (DWS) Once ERAS opens July 1, we will be able to scan and upload your documents. • Your medical school transcript • Your LORs • Your Year III White Coat Photograph • Your MSPE (drafted and completed during the summer and fall/not released until October 1)

  7. ERAS: Who’s Who . . What’s What? ERAS PostOffice: similar to the U.S. mail, except the ERAS PostOffice is on-line • Through the Internet, our office transmits each document to the PostOffice • The PostOffice sends your application documents to the residency programs where you have assigned them • You can assign a specific group of LORs to a few programs and you can assign a completely different group of LORs to other programs

  8. ERAS: Who’s Who . . What’s What? Program Director’s Workstation (PDWS): • Used by the Residency programs where you are applying • Application documents are downloaded for review • Application pools are sorted

  9. An Aerial ERAS ViewNote that there is no direct connection between the schools and the programs; all transmissions are sent and received through the ERAS PostOffice

  10. WHAT’S IT GONNA COST ME? The ERAS processing fee is dependent on the number of programs per specialty ERAS Fees Programs Up to 10 - $105 Programs 11-20 - $10 each Programs 21-30 - $15 each Programs 31 or more - $25 each USMLE and COMLEX Transcript - $70 assessed once per season

  11. Preparing for ERAS TODAY: Complete your Token Application • The token text provides you with information you should know before you register, step-by-step instructions on how to register and your token ID

  12. Preparing for ERAS I SHOULD HAVE YOUR CV • You will not upload a CV to your MyERAS • You will enter the data from your CV into your Common Application Form (CAF) • When downloaded by the Program Directors the format is consistent and the applicant data is easier to review

  13. Preparing for ERAS Letters of Recommendation • LOR coversheets have been replaced with Letter Request Forms • Applicants must enter and finalize LORs on the Letter of Recommendation tab in MyERAS to generate the Letter Request Form for each LOR Author

  14. Preparing for ERAS • Request letters of recommendation (LORs) • You cannot assign more than four (4) letters to one program • Call or e-mail The Office of Student Affairs when you want an update on how many letters (LORs) we have received for you • Check your grades online regularly • Print and read for step-by-step instructions • ERAS 2013 Applicant User Guide • ERAS 2013 MyERASWorksheet

  15. Preparing for ERAS JULY 1: (Attempt to have these three documents prepared and finalized prior to July 15 - the first day Osteopathic programs can begin downloading) • Order your official medical school transcript www.ohio.edu/registrar/transcri.cfm • Finalize your personal statement • Complete your ERAS Application

  16. Your MSPE The term “Dean’s letter” is no longer used. The content of the MSPE provides an “evaluation” of the applicant’s performance during the course of his/her medical school years, relative to his/her peers. The MSPE should not act as a “predictor” of future performance but provide information about academic performance. As we finalize your MSPE, you will receive a draft copy to review (carefully) and return to the Office of Student Affairs.

  17. Your MSPE Keep posted on ERAS information, updates and FAQs by visiting:
