Residency application: ERAS & NRMP

Well, it’s the middle of August. Which means you have probably already received your token and registered with ERAS. Now it’s time to register with NRMP.
ERAS stands for Electronic Residency Application System and is the online software responsible for taking care of your personal statement, photo, CV details, MSPE (Dean’s letter), official transcript and letters of recommendation. Your school will submit the last three. The rest of the application is up to you.
NRMP stands for the National Residency Matching Program and is the governing-organizing-electronic-doo-hickey application that sorts through all applicants and residency positions with a fancy math algorithm. This year, NRMP registration opens on Sunday, August 15th.
Each of these steps is bringing us closer to the end of summer and closer to the submission of our applications to residency programs! September 1st is just around the corner!
