Supplemental ERAS Application
For the 2022 ERAS® cycle, our program will be participating in the supplemental ERAS application offered through the AAMC’s ERAS program. Applicants will be required to complete the MyERAS application, and participation in the supplemental ERAS application is optional.
The additional information will help our program staff learn more about applicants’ medical education journey, including more meaningful information about work, volunteer, and research experiences, and help us better identify applicants who fit our program environment and mission.
This supplemental ERAS application will be delivered on a survey platform outside the MyERAS application and must be completed between September 1 and September 30.
No application review or invitation for a formal interview will be made unless the application is complete by October 29, 2021. This deadline is firm.
All categorical interview invitations will be sent out on November 2, 2021 at 11:00 am EST. We will be using Thalamus for scheduling and zoom on interview days.
All interviews will be held virtually for this recruitment season (2021-2022). Each candidate is individually interviewed by three members of the surgical faculty and by current residents from all training years. The structured activities begin at 7:00 a.m. and conclude by 2:00 p.m.
Categorical Interview dates are:All graduates of foreign medical schools must have current certification by the Educational Committee for Foreign Medical Graduates. All foreign graduates who require visa sponsorship must meet all requirements of the ECFMG to be able to secure a J-1 Visa. Apply online with the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) only.
Applicants interested in specialty programs should NOT apply to the General Surgery Program, but should contact the appropriate Specialty Program Director at 3400 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104.
