This was a question that may sound dumb at first, but when actually faced it, looks like a real serious one. Anyways just listing out the procedure below.
ERAS token is a way through which one can start one's application for residency. For IMGs (International Medical Graduates) one can get the token in the following way.
ERAS token is a way through which one can start one's application for residency. For IMGs (International Medical Graduates) one can get the token in the following way.
- Open your OASIS account from the ECFMG portal.
- On the left hand side there will be the following option - ERAS® Support Services, click on it
- Next click on ERAS Residency Token NOT THE ERAS Fellowship Token
- Once you complete the request and make the payment you will be directed to your ERAS token number.
- Do note it down since if not mistaken I do not think they send you your number or anything, so either print the page or write it down on a sheet of paper. You will not need this token number once you create an account in myeras FYI
- Then go to the myeras page - https://services.aamc.org/eras/myeras2015/ and then click register token and do as the instructions are told, which are pretty simple and straight forward.
Best of luck
