The application and all supporting documentation must be submitted by the end of October, the year preceding the program’s start date.
Each program sets individual requirements for the documents that should be submitted with the MyERAS® application. Be sure to research each program individually to determine those requirements before assigning documents. Within your MyERAS account, you must include the following documents:
- Photo
- Personal Statement
- Letter of Recommendation (three)
- COMLEX-USA Transcript (Level 1, Level 2-CE, and Level 2-PE) / USMLE Transcript (Step 1 and Step 2)

Appointments are made through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), which requires registration in addition to ERAS.
Applicants considered for an appointment will be invited to visit for a personal interview with the Program Director and selected Faculty. Interviews are conducted from mid-December to mid-January each year.
If your COMLEX and/or USMLE scores are unavailable at the time of ranking, you will not be eligible to be ranked with the NRMP.
