The Residency Application - Components

The Residency Application generally includes personal, educational, and biographical information that would be included in a typical curriculum vitae. Supporting documents for the residency application include a personal statement, letters of reference, USMLE transcripts, the MSPE, medical school transcripts, and a photo.  

Applicants can begin working on their application in June and will apply to programs in September. Residency programs will be able to review applications on September 25, 2024.  Applicants should complete all application materials, apply to intended programs, and certify and submit their application prior to this date. OSA is responsible for uploading the MSPE and medical school transcript in September. There is a uniform release date for the MSPE, it will not be uploaded early for early match programs. Personal information (including contact information) is very important to programs, it is recommended that this section remain up-to-date through the application cycle.

MyERAS has an excellent support structure including the user guide, worksheet and checklist referenced below as the AAMC Support Center. We encourage applicants to utilize these resources throughout the application process.
