An associate dean of student affairs sheds insight into why medical students applying for residency tend to be as stressed out as Taylor Swift fans trying to score concert tickets.
Those who run Taylor Swift's Eras Tour have something in common with those who run ERAS, the Electronic Residency Application Service. They cause agita to the people they purport to serve.Most medical students won't see Taylor Swift perform her hit song,"Cruel Summer," but they will spend thousands of dollars on ERAS as they prepare for the 2024 residency match. Medical students applying for residency tend to be as stressed out as Swifties trying to score concert tickets.
Other recent changes have included"signaling" programs, selecting preferred regions, and pre-interview recordings for some specialties. This year, students cannot include more than 10 activities on their ERAS application.
To be sure, most changes are being made in an effort to improve the experience of the students and programs. But as with anything, the result has been a mix of good and bad. The transition to virtual interviews allowed students to apply more broadly to programs without worrying about travel costs. The move also benefits students with disabilities who face accessibility and other challenges with traveling.
