Match 2010: Pre-Season Prep
Part 1: Getting Your Token to Open ERAS
The ‘ERAS token’ will serve as your key to officially beginning your 2010 Match Application. It is simply a code issued through ECFMG.org that is used to create the, ‘username’ , known as the AAMC ID, that you will be using throughout the application process. Your AAMC ID will grant you access to your ERAS online application. You will later need this ID to register for the organization that runs the Match, NRMP.
I know it seems like a lot of letters, but don’t worry. The only thing you need to know is that ECFMG.org will get you the code to open up your official application. We’ll walk you through and give you the links you need so you can click and still keep this instructional page open. Follow the following steps:
Full Route:
1) Log on to www.ecfmg.org <<<Click here and a separate window will pop up with the ecfmg site
2) On the ECFMG site, click on the OASIS option
3) Log into Oasis with the same ID you’ve been using to apply for your USMLE’s
4) On the left side of that screen, click the menu option called, “ERAS support services”
5) Click on, ‘ERAS Residency Token’
6) Fill out/verify the necessary information & make your payment for the service
7) You will receive your token number within the next few days. Expect an email verification or simply login to OASIS and follow steps 1 through 5 above to get the token…and you’ll find your token number there.
