This year the MyERAS PostOffice will release MSPEs to U.S. residency
programs on October 1, one month earlier than last year. (Remember:
The MSPE is a close equivalent to a dean’s letter.)
U.S. medical students’ designated deans’ offices will attach the MSPE
(and the medical school transcript) to applicants’ electronic files;
the documents are then automatically sent to all the programs to which
a candidate applies.
International applicants must ensure that their MSPEs are submitted to
ERAS Support Services at ECFMG. The documents are then processed and
transmitted to the ERAS PostOffice. (For more information on
submitting documents – including the MSPE – see the ERAS Support
Services for Applicants section of the ECFMG website at
http://www.ecfmg.org/eras/applicants-index.html.)
As always, please ensure your supporting documents are ready early in
order to avoid harmful delays in your application.
