If you have questions about the format and/or content of your CV, please see our CV Preparation Tips.

You will be asked to submit a draft curriculum vitae (CV) and your noteworthy characteristics bio bullets to student affairs. You will also receive instruction from OSA staff about the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) at the ERAS Tutorial and through emails, you will receive throughout the year. We suggest asking a faculty member in your chosen specialty to review your personal statement as well.

You may also discuss the content and style of your personal statement and ask the MSPE writer to read a draft. We will also review your fourth-year plans, discuss the process of obtaining letters of recommendation, and explain the function of the Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE). We can explore with you some of the things that may be important to you in a specialty and recommend resources (people, websites, readings) to help with the decision-making process. If you have not decided on a specialty, the meeting may serve to facilitate the decision-making process. However, Dr. Thom reads all MSPEs and signs off on all of them before they are uploaded to ERAS. The person you meet with will write your MSPE. These meetings take place in May, June, and July. In spring of the third year, all students will be asked to schedule a meeting with one of the Deans in OSA to review the residency application process.
