Supplemental ERAS Application

For the 2023 ERAS cycle, our program will be collecting and reviewing data from applicants' supplemental ERAS application. Completion of the standard MyERAS application is a requirement; completion of the supplemental ERAS application is optional.
The supplemental ERAS application is designed to help applicants share more information about themselves and assist our program in finding applicants that fit our program's setting and mission.
The supplemental ERAS application provides:
- geographic preferences (by division and by urban or rural setting);
- information about an applicant's most meaningful experiences and other impactful life events, if applicable; and
- program signals.

Interviews

All interviews are conducted virtually. We have designed an interview day we believe best captures the personal feel of our program so you can discover the best fit learning environment for yourself.
Interviews begin in late October and extend through mid-January.
Invitations are extended after thorough review of each application.
We use third party software to manage our interview scheduling.
