Token Request
You must obtain a Token in order to register at MyERAS and start your residency application. The Token is a 14-digit, alpha-numeric code that you request via ECFMG’s OASIS. There is a $100 non-refundable fee for this service. Detailed instructions for using the Token to login to the MyERAS website are included on the OASIS Token page. Tokens for the ERAS 2013 season are no longer available.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Token you request through OASIS is for residency applications only. If you are currently enrolled in a residency program and require a Token for a fellowship application, you must request your Token through the ERAS Fellowships Documents Office (EFDO).
When you request your Token using OASIS, you can pay on-line using a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express). ERAS Support Services strongly recommends that you make the payment on-line using your credit card. Through OASIS, you can also pay by an electronic check from a checking account at a U.S. bank. To pay for your Token by check, money order, bank check, or bank draft, complete Payment Form 900 and mail it with your payment to the address at the top of the form. If you make a payment using Form 900, you must verify that this payment has been credited to your ECFMG financial account before you request your Token; you can verify the status of your ECFMG financial account on-line using OASIS. Once the payment has been credited to your account, you must request your Token on-line using OASIS.
You will have immediate access to your Token after your request and payment are made. After your payment is approved, you will receive a confirmation number for your records. Please print this page or write down your confirmation number. To access your Token, click on “Continue,” and your Token will be listed on the ERAS Token Request page.
Your Token is associated with your ERAS application, ECFMG Status Report, and USMLE transcript; therefore, do not allow any other ERAS participant to use your Token.
You need only one Token per ERAS season. You can use that one Token to apply to as many specialties and programs as you want during the ERAS season. You can also use your 2013 Token to apply for both a clinical year (PGY-1), which begins in 2013, and for an advanced position (PGY-2), which begins in 2014 (e.g., Radiology, Neurology, etc.). The Token is not transferable for future use. The ERAS software will not recognize a Token issued for previous ERAS seasons.
ERAS Support Services is currently processing OASIS and Letter Writer Portal uploads within two business days.
Documents received via mail/courier service will take four to six weeks to process.
Monitor the ADTS section of AAMC’s MyERAS website to track the status of your ERAS application.
