What is an approximate time table for residency season?
It starts as early as May, especially in case of San Francisco Match which runs 1-2 months ahead of the general match. Most residencies that IMGs apply for are conducted through the ERAS ( http://www.aamc.org/students/eras/start.htm ) and NRMP ( http://www.nrmp.org ). You have to register for both. ERAS allows you to apply for residency whereas the match is conducted through NRMP. According to the ERAS, the deadlines for the residency starting in 2008 are: • Mid-June 2007 ERAS 2008 Applicant Manuals will be available for PDF download by chapters or in its entirety on our Web site. • Late June 2007 Schools may begin to generate and distribute MyERAS tokens to applicants. • July 1, 2007 MyERAS Web site opens to applicants to begin working on their applications. • July 15, 2007 Osteopathic applicants may begin selecting and applying to Osteopathic Internship programs ONLY. • Osteopathic training programs can begin contacting the ERAS Post Office to download application files. • September
