Thank you so much Dr Agrawal for this truly informative video on ERAS CV. Very well explained and it clears all the queries. Much appreciate your efforts☺

Thanks for putting together this helpful guide. I am watching it for the fifth time in two days as it contains a lot of information. I have one question: How many instances of experiences are generally expected? I have thought about putting around 5-7 key experiences in my application. Am I going to put myself at a disadvantage by not using the max number (10) of experience slots?

Thank you so much for an amazing video Dr. Agrawal! Can you please tell about how to write about the thesis/ research we do as a part of the residency curriculum in India? Thanks
Glad to see that you found my video valuable. Citing your thesis research under 'Other Articles' is the closest option. 'Scientific Monograph' may also work if you can provide a publication name, volume and issue number. Thanks @SaneSisters for your ?☺
Hey Dr. Agrawal. Thank you for all the tips and information. I have around 5 paid clinical experiences from my undergraduate career/gap years. Should I clump the related ones into one activity. For example, nurse extern and nurse aide clumped into one. And then my three nursing jobs into one, plus making this clumped activity a most meaningful for my nursing roles. Is it okay to include these clinical experiences from the distant past, or should I focus more on recent clinical activities completed as a medical student only.
I am assuming you are a RN MD. I recommend using your med student clinical activities in the ERAS experiences. If you still have 1 or 2 experiences left and nothing else to enter as ERAS experience, then yes, write about your nursing jobs. Thanks @jamesverner9224 for your ?
Thank you so much. This is super informative. If I have a poster that has been selected for presentation at a conference can I still put it on my application with a future date?
Thank you so much! This video has been very useful to me for filling out my ERAS application so far. I have a question I would like to ask, please. I did my MD in Biochemistry in India (2012-2015). During that time, I completed two studies-one for my thesis (a part of which I presented orally at a state conference) and a second short study, which I presented as a poster at a national conference and resulted in a publication in 2014. Can I mention the publication, oral presentation, and poster presentation in my ERAS CV under the respective sections? The study, presentations, and publication were requirements for my MD Biochemistry.
Here's my updated ERAS CV video for #Match2025 czcams.com/video/njpxWimyxE0/video.html . Coming to your question, yes you can certainly include your oral, poster and publication under the appropriate 'Publications' section. Thank you @shwetavenkatesh for your ?
Discussed at this point in the video czcams.com/video/-nw1f9WuhDw/video.htmlsi=onwIoS6ehMEZf_as&t=887 Do your best to estimate the start date (say beginning of med school) to end date/present. Don't put too much thought on it as everyone knows its not perfect. Thanks @tamarajasim6205 for your ?
I have an unpublished research(in the process of getting it published).. I'm gonna mention it under the publications section.. but should I also mention it as one of my 10 ERAS experiences? As I have no other research experience than this? Will it be counted as repeating the same information or not? The only reason I'd like to mention in under 10 experiences is to have some variety in the CV. What should I do? TIA.
Yes, absolutely you can. The citation is not going to give info on what, where, how this research experience was and so certainly you can have this as one of your 10 experiences. Thus, I dont see how this is going to be considered redundant. Thanks @user-ls4qb6yz9y for your ?
Do your best to estimate the start date (say beginning of med school) to end date/present. Don't put too much thought on it as everyone knows its not perfect - Thanks @leepypaudel6308 for your ?
Yes, this is what ERAS suggests. I may have said 'work experience' in my video (this is how it was categorized previously). Thanks @rathicrisparavichandran795 for your ? 😊
If we are a group of students who come together to publish an abstract, can that be a research experience? And if yes, how do i write my "position title" and the organization?
Here's my updated ERAS CV video guide for #Match2025 czcams.com/video/njpxWimyxE0/video.html . Let's continue future conversation there. Coming to your question, there is no definite rule against including this as research experience, with position as ' research author' or 'lead investigator' as appropriate. Organization would be your medical school. Also be prepared to field questions in the residency interview about doing the research with limited or non-existent mentorship (if true to your case). Thanks @michaelfaraday8391 for your ?

Pls refer to the updated ERAS CV video for #Match2025 that you can watch at czcams.com/video/njpxWimyxE0/video.html . Clinical medical assistant position can be included as experience (not education). Thanks @michaelfaraday8391 for your ?
@@michaelfaraday8391 I am not sure what 'externship clinical medical assistant' is - here's what ERAS recommends: Experience Type: Education/training (includes clinical training such as clerkships, away rotations, subinternships, structured observerships). Military service. Professional organization (includes societies, associations, etc., at the local, regional, national, or international levels). Other extracurricular activity, club, hobby (includes sports, music, theater, student government, etc.). Research. Teaching/mentoring (includes paid teaching positions such as high school teacher as well as teaching assistant, tutor). Volunteer/service/advocacy (includes unpaid experiences). Work (includes paid clinical, nonclinical, business, or entrepreneurial experiences).
Thank you for your response. After training as a medical assistant we’re required to get some clinical hours before our certificates can be released to us. It’s a kind of internship but they refer to it as externship. I don’t know if I can refer to it as internship or externship. Also I studied for a diploma in nursing and worked as an RN before going to the medical school even though it wasn’t a prerequisite for medical school admission. Can I talk about that as a premedical school education in that section of the application? Can I also talk about my work as an RN if it happened many years ago? Thank you.
There is no question that reading is a hobby. For ERAS CV purpose, it is not enough to state "I like to read". More details are needed such as "I like to read autobiographies and historical books. My favorite book is Obama's 'Promised Land'" Thanks @teddoyre1099 for your comment.
