FAQs
- What are the application requirements?
For the 2022 ERAS® cycle, our program recommends all applicants to complete a supplemental ERAS application, offered through the AAMC's ERAS program. Applicants also will be required to complete the MyERAS application.
The additional information collected will help our program staff learn more about applicants' medical education journey, including more meaningful information about work, volunteer, and research experiences, and will help us better identify applicants who fit our program environment and mission.
This supplemental ERAS application will be delivered on a survey platform that is separate from the MyERAS application and should be completed between September 1-30.
