Application Process Guideline

Step 3: Register on MyEras

It is important to register early. The EFDO may not begin working on your documents until you have registered. Point your Web browser to http://services.aamc.org/eras/myeras and click on the Register button to access the registration page. Carefully fill out all required fields, and type your electronic 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 on the Register button, the system will process your information and create or assign your AAMC ID. Please make note of your 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 letters and numbers only.
  • Passwords are case sensitive; therefore the passwords FELIX and felix 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 address that 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 fellowship programs which have multiple recipients are treated as junk mail or spam.
