2024-25 ERAS Application Update

MyERAS® Application and Program Signaling for 2024-25

Over the last two recruitment seasons, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has administered two pilot cycles of the Supplemental ERAS® Application and Preference Signaling.  The AAMC has, over the two seasons, collected feedback, in survey and focus group formats from applicants, medical student advisors, program directors to understand each group’s experience with the application process and based on the feedback have implemented changes to the application process for the upcoming recruitment season.

For 2025 ERAS® Application Season details and what you need to know can be found here.

The Association of Program Directors in IR (APDIR) and the Association of Program Directors in Diagnostic Radiology (APDR) have collaborated under a single title of Radiology for the Interventional Radiology-Integrated and Diagnostic Radiology residencies for the 2024-25 season.  Radiology (IR and DR) this year will share a total of 12 signals using a tired method.  Six (6) signals have been designated as gold (most preferred), and six (6) signals have been designated as silver (preferred).  Applicants can use the 12 to signal IR only, DR only or a combination of IR and DR residency programs.  

The purpose of preference signaling offers applicants an opportunity to notify programs in which they have a strong interest.

AAMC Guidance for Home and Away Rotation Program Signaling
The AAMC suggests that applicants signal their most interested programs regardless of whether they are home or away rotations. This is the most fair and equitable process for all applicant types (MD, DO, and IMGs) and provides all programs that participate in receiving signals with the same information about interest level.
