Step 3: Register on MyERAS
It is important to register early. Your designated dean's office
cannot scan your documents until you have registered. After receiving
your electronic token from your designated dean's office, login
to MyERAS at http://services.aamc.org/eras/myeras.
Click on the Register button to access the registration page.
Carefully fill out all required fields, and type your token in correctly.
You may only register once; therefore, carefully enter all
information accurately and review it to ensure accuracy before
submitting.
AAMC ID
While registering in MyERAS, you will be asked to enter your AAMC
ID. If you do not know your AAMC ID, leave this field blank. At
the end of the registration process, when you click the Register
button, the system will process your information and create or assign
your AAMC ID. Please make note of your assigned AAMC ID, as it will
be needed to access MyERAS and ADTS. Please print the final registration
page for your records.
Password
Create a password that you will remember and be sure to keep track
of it. You will need it to update your information and to track
your applications on the ADTS. Anyone you share your password with
will have access to your application. It is your responsibility
to keep it secure.
During registration, you will be prompted to create and confirm
a password. When creating a password, keep the following in mind:
- Passwords must have a minimum of six characters and a maximum
of 10 characters.
- Passwords can have characters and numbers only.
- Passwords are case sensitive. Therefore, the passwords CARRIE
and carrie are different.
Note: If you forget or lose your password, go to the MyERAS
login page and click on Forgot My Password and follow the
prompts. Your password will be sent to the e-mail you entered when
you registered.
E-mail address
During registration, you will be prompted to enter an e-mail address.
In order for any program to contact you for additional information
or to schedule an interview, you need an active e-mail address.
Many programs use e-mail to contact applicants for important reminders,
notification of missing documents, and invitations to interview.
You also need an e-mail address to retrieve your password. If you
lose your MyERAS password or AAMC ID, we need a valid e-mail address
to contact you.
Note: If you plan to use a Hotmail, GMail or Yahoo e-mail
address (e.g. myname@hotmail.com) be sure to check your junk mail
or bulk mail folder regularly. In Hotmail, some messages from programs
which have multiple recipients are treated as junk mail or spam.
