ERAS 2012 PROGRAM INFORMATION FOR IMGS NOW AVAILABLE

Information for international medical students/graduates on the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) 2012 application season is now available. If you plan to apply for U.S. residency positions that begin in July 2012, visit the ECFMG ERAS Support Services website at www.ecfmg.org/eras/index.html for important information. Most U.S. residency programs participate in ERAS. If you apply to participating programs, you must apply to these programs using ERAS.

At ECFMG's ERAS Support Services website, you will be able to:

- View instructions on how to obtain an ERAS Token, which will allow you to access the MyERAS website to work on your residency applications.
- Review policies and procedures that are new for ERAS 2012.
- Find instructions for submitting your supporting documents, such as letters of recommendation and transcripts, to ERAS Support Services for transmission to the ERAS PostOffice.

Residency Tokens for the ERAS 2012 application season are expected to be available through ECFMG's OASIS beginning in mid-June 2011. You can use a 2012 Token to register with AAMC's MyERAS beginning on Friday, July 1, 2011.
