Apply to Fellowships with the ERAS® System

Learn how to register for the MyERAS® portal for the upcoming application season.

The AAMC is focused on improving the Electronic Residency Application Service® (ERAS®) through research and community feedback to enhance the experience for applicants, programs, and medical school users. Learn more about the 2026 MyERAS® application and how applicants can share more information about their experiences and career goals with residency and fellowship programs.   

ERAS® fellowship application fees are based on the number of programs applied to. The MyERAS® system automatically calculates your fees and you can pay online using Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover.

Registration with the ERAS® system does not register you for any established match. The ERAS program is a separate entity and does not provide matching services. If you intend to participate in a match, you must contact that organization for registration, eligibility, and participation information.

Applicants that have certified and submitted an application in a prior season (up to seven years prior to the start of the current season) will be able to import their application data and associated LoRs into the current season.

Frequently Asked Questions are updated throughout the 2026 ERAS® season (June 4, 2025-May 31, 2026).

For the 2026 ERAS® recruitment season all residency and fellowship applicants who are applying to participating programs can use program signals to show their interest.
