Residency Application Process
 
Spring of M3 year:
Apply for away electives
Develop M4 schedule
Individual career counseling/MSPE meetings
Early M4 year:
Begin application process – ERAS, personal statement, LORs
Take Step 2CK and Step 2CS
ERAS applications released 9/15
MSPE released 10/1
 
Residency Application Process (cont’d)
 
October – January:  Residency Interviews
February:  Submit ROL
March:  NRMP Match Day!
Early match specialties have their own match days in December and
January
 
 
Does Everyone Get Their First Choice?
 
 
What Happens if I Don’t Match?
 
Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP)
Opportunity to review unfilled programs and apply for those
positions – often extremely limited choices and very competitive
SOAP is 
not
 a good Plan B
How to Succeed in the Match
 
Everyone needs a 
Plan B
Keep options open from M1 year
Pursue a variety of interests – don’t narrow in on one specialty
too early
Application strategy NOT the same as getting into medical
school
Academics are primary
Leadership is great, but will not substitute for poor academics
Complete Match Check-Ups annually
 
Resources for Career Counseling
 
Can tailor amount of info you receive to individual preference
