ERAS Registration
You can register at MyERAS using your Token beginning on July 1, 2011. You are strongly encouraged to register at MyERAS no later than mid-July.
To register means to use your Token to establish an identity with AAMC and obtain an AAMC Identification Number and password. The registration screen can be accessed only one time. Before completing your registration, please proofread the page. You cannot make changes to the information once your registration has been completed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you receive this error message during registration at MyERAS: “Your Token does not have the correct checksum, please re-enter it,” please take a close look at the last three digits of your Token. The last three digits may consist of numbers or letters. Do not type the letter “O” instead of the number zero (or vice versa).
If you experience any technical difficulties during the registration or application process at MyERAS, contact the AAMC ERAS Helpdesk at (202) 862-6264, or e-mail your inquiry to myeras@aamc.org.
After you have registered successfully, ERAS Support Services at ECFMG will be notified electronically by AAMC ERAS.
Once you have registered, you can begin working on your application. This includes completing the MyERAS application, Profile, and Personal Statement on the MyERAS website. Each time you apply to a program, these documents will be transmitted automatically for download by the program.
An Important Note About Personal Statement Plagiarism
Copying language from any source, including the Internet, for use in your Personal Statement is considered plagiarism. Samples of published Personal Statements are found on the Internet. Although these samples may be used to assist you in writing your own Personal Statement, copying any portion of the published language and representing it as your own is plagiarism. Any reported allegations of plagiarism will prompt an investigation by AAMC and may result in your becoming ineligible to participate in the NRMP Match. ERAS participants should read and become familiar with the AAMC’s ERAS Integrity Promotion Education Program.
