ERAS is the Electronic Residency Application Service and it is something I have become quite familiar with over the past few months as I’ve been preparing my residency application. See, I fill out one central application with all my experiences, my awards, all that stuff… then I put in my Personal Statement and I list the people who will be writing letters for me. Then I pick the programs I want to apply to and the system will automatically make all my documents available at each of the programs. Well anyways – I have been slaving over this application and it has been a monkey on my back for a while – but finally today after one last proofread I finally clicked "Submit" (and of course entered my credit card number) and now it’s all over.
All. Over.
And all I can do is wait for the interview invitations to roll on in.
What are some of your first program choices?
Children’s Hospital in Seattle is my #1 and OHSU is my #2. After that they’re prety much all in California and I don’t really have an order… UCSF, Stanford, Oakland, San Diego, Sacremento… I’m fairly confident that I’ll match into one of my top two programs. I’ll keep everyone updated on my interviews over the next few months so you will all know how it’s going.
Thanks – Love ‘ya!
