Electronic Residency Application Service® (ERAS®)
The Electronic Residency Application Service® (ERAS®) is the centralized online application service you’ll use to deliver your application, along with supporting documents, to residency programs.
For the last two recruitment seasons, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has administered two pilot cycles of the Supplemental ERAS® Application and Preference Signaling. During this time, the AAMC has collected feedback in survey and focus group formats from applicants, medical student advisors and program directors to understand each group’s experience with the process.
Based on this feedback, they have implemented changes to the application process for the upcoming recruitment season.
The Association of Program Directors in IR (APDIR) and the Association of Program Directors in Diagnostic Radiology (APDR) have collaborated under a single title of Radiology for the Interventional Radiology-Integrated and Diagnostic Radiology residencies for the 2024-25 season.
Radiology (IR and DR) this year will share a total of 12 signals using a tiered method. Six (6) signals have been designated as gold (most preferred), and six (6) signals have been designated as silver (preferred).
Applicants can use the 12 to signal IR only, DR only or a combination of IR and DR residency programs.
AAMC Guidance for Home and Away Rotation Program SignalingThe AAMC suggests that applicants signal their most interested programs regardless of whether they are home or away rotations. This is the most fair and equitable process for all applicant types (MD, DO, and IMGs) and provides all programs that participate in receiving signals with the same information about interest level.
