Senior Medical Students and Medical Graduates of LSU-New Orleans

ERAS empathizes with the students, graduates, faculty and staff of LSU-New Orleans in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. We are dedicated to support your efforts in applying to residency positions under such extenuating circumstances. We understand that hurricane Katrina has impacted your medical schools' offices and services and we are working closely with your school to determine how we may assist them in processing your supporting documents into ERAS.

Supporting Document Processing Information

LSU- New Orleans' Student Affairs Office is accepting supporting documents for its students' ERAS 2006 applications. Ms. Bobbie Millet is coordinating the processing of LSU-New Orleans supporting documents. Please forward photos and letters of recommendation to her attention at the following address:

Dean's Letters/MSPE and Transcripts

LSU-New Orleans' Student Affairs Office has indicated that they should be able to provide Dean's Letters/MSPEs and transcripts for their students by November 1, 2005. Once available these documents will be uploaded to the ERAS Post Office for downloading by programs.

Tracking the Status of Supporting Documents

Track the status of your ERAS application materials using the Applicant Document Tracking System (ADTS). The ADTS lists each program to which you have applied; the dates the documents were uploaded by your designated dean's office, and the date the program downloaded each document.

You will need your AAMC ID number and password to access the ADTS. If you lose or forget your password, go to the MyERAS Login Page and click on "Forgot Password". If you forgot your AAMC ID or require further assistance, you may contact the ERAS Help Desk at: (202) 828-0413, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. ET.

ERAS Communication with Participating Programs

In light of the far reaching impact of Hurricane Katrina, ERAS has contacted programs to encourage them to consider extending their application deadlines and to show understanding towards those affected by the hurricane. In addition, we have recommended that all residency programs not affected by the hurricane, begin thinking about how they might assist the applicants from LSU-New Orleans who may apply to their program, since access to supporting documents may not be readily available and possibly delayed.
