• NRMP – National Resident Matching Program. Used by allopathic programs and students during the allopathic match for residency selection
• SF Match – San Francisco Matching Program. Early matching program for some Neurology and Ophthalmology residencies. This match does not utilize ERAS (but you may need ERAS for PGY-1)

• You MUST register with the matching services separately in order to participate in their match
![Page 7: RESIDENCY 101 March 23, 2012 Rynn Ziller, Ed.D. Jimmy Renfro, M.Ed. Lauren Griffin, M.S.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/5697bf771a28abf838c812c9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How Does ERAS Work?
• Applicants receive an electronic ‘Token’ (password) from their assigned Dean's office, and use it to access the MyERAS website.
• Applicants complete their ERAS application, select programs, assign supporting documents, and transmit their application to programs.
![Page 8: RESIDENCY 101 March 23, 2012 Rynn Ziller, Ed.D. Jimmy Renfro, M.Ed. Lauren Griffin, M.S.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/5697bf771a28abf838c812c9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Student Affairs/Career Services receives notification of completed application, and starts transmitting supporting documents:
• Transcripts (around 9/1)• Letters of recommendation (at least 3, max of 4)• Photos (ID photo can be used)• MSPE/Dean's Letters (National AAMC Date: 10/1/12 for
ACGME, 10/15/12 for AOA)
• Examining boards receive and process requests for score reports; UNTHSC cannot process these.
• Programs contact the ERAS Post Office on a daily basis to download application materials.
