My ENTIRE ERAS Application for Residency (w/ Experiences!)

Hi there! I'm Prerak - a first year internal medicine resident at Stanford! Last year (2021), I applied to residency and was lucky enough to match at my top choice at Stanford. :) I felt like I wanted to make this video to help anyone currently going through the process. I hope that you find it helpful; I feel like seeing something like this last year would have been really helpful for me.
What is ERAS?
The ERAS (Electronic Residency Application Service) is a standardized application system used by the majority of medical schools to streamline the application process, making it easier to medical school students to apply to multiple different medical residency programs.
FAQs about ERAS (Via: students-residents.aamc.org/e...
Who should I contact if I need advice on how to fill out my application?
The ERAS Client Technical Support is available to provide technical support with the MyERAS application but cannot advise you on how to fill out your application. You should contact your Designated Dean’s Office if you need advice on how to fill out your application.
When can I certify and submit my application?
MD applicants and DO applicants can begin certifying and submitting their application on Wednesday, September 7 at 9 a.m. ET.
Once you have certified and submitted your application, it will be irrevocably locked, and no changes will be permitted. Your application, once certified and submitted, is provided to all programs to which you apply during this ERAS season. Please take the additional time to proofread your application for any errors or omissions.
Are there any parts of the application that can be changed or updated after I certify and submit my application?
Once you have certified and submitted your MyERAS application, you will not be able to make any changes or updates outside of the information provided under the Personal Information section. There are no exceptions.

Great vid prerak!

[@wen9006789]

Hi Prerak! I'm applying this year and this was SO helpful :)

[@TheFangmeister]

Thanks so much Prerak, so appreciate it!!

[@AwsomeLorenzo]

Hi Prerak, your co-resident Vikram referred me to some of your very helpful videos! Shout out to him.

[@thesumerian9769]

You're a good man. Thank you Dr Juthani for taking the time to help out applicants like myself who had no idea what to do. God bless you sir.

[@khadija6781]

Great video, Prerak! To second something that was said previously, can you talk about how you were able to find researchers that were in the later stages of their research to maximize these pubs? Could be wrong but I'm assuming you weren't involved in the data collection of most of these papers because that would take longer and moreso helped out on the actual writing of the paper.

[@Hanoud1997]

Hi Prerak, I noticed you did not include undergrad volunteering and experiences. Did you end up including undergrad experiences? If not, would it be disadvantageous to? Thank you so much in advance!! - applying this cycle

[@reemchamseddine2204]

I was wondering if you got specific advice about writing descriptions as bullet points versus paragraph form as you've done. Also, did you put major college achievements anywhere?

[@MA-oj7ls]

Hi Dr. Prerak, I have a year out before ERAS, what would you suggest to do in the meantime, I dont have an extensive history like yours (I have worked before but mostly retail is that something to mention?) not sure how to proceed as an M3 any help?

[@M16xDr0pSh0tz]

Thanks man, I remember watching your amcas one and found it very helpful

[@daud798]

Very good 👍

[@janetu4603]

very helpful

[@lalosalamanca6329]

can you talk a bit a more about how you were able to do all those poster presentations and how you obtained research opportunities? I am an M1 but am completely lost on how to figure all this out. Thanks!

[@Wafflemakerguy19]

Tell me again.

[@shannonhan429]

do case reports fall under peer-reviewed publications or non-peer reviewed publications?

[@benjaminjacobs5871]

When AMCAS data says that ENT for example has an average of like 30 research experiences, they don’t mean 30 genuine peer reviewed publications correct? Just everything added together?

[@MrPipin22]

Yes

[@M16xDr0pSh0tz]

Honestly fucking dumb. They should separate out acutal publications from bs abstracts posters etc

THE GOSPEL Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: - 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4 KJV Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. - John 15:13 KJV SAVALATION For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16 KJV For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:17 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. - John 14:6 KJV Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Romans 5:10 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. - Isaiah 53:5 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. - Mark 1:15 KJV He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. - John 3:36 KJV Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. 2 Timothy 1:9 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19:10 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:16
