Yesterday the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) opened its digital doors to medical students applying to ACGME residency programs. So we thought it was a perfect time to host another EM Match Advice Series installment. This time, we focus on the challenges that the non-LCME applicant encounters throughout the ACGME application process. These applicants include:

  1. Students from osteopathic medical schools
  2. Students from non-U.S. medical schools
  3. Applicants who have been in the military service and are returning for residency training
  4. Residents who want to transfer in from another specialty training program.

The Panelists: The Non-LCME Applicant

  • Michael Gisondi, MD (Northwestern PD, host)
  • Merle Carter, MD (Albert Einstein prior PD and soon-to-be Designated Institutional Official)
  • Doug Finefrock, DO (Hackensack PD and Vice Chair)

  • Michelle Lin, MD (University of California San Francisco, ALiEM host)
