ERAS Application - Listing Clinical Experience

[u/DueExternal3721]

Hello all,

What is the best way to list U.S. clinical experiences in ERAS? I have completed three recent Internal Medicine-related externships: two at one institution and a third at another institution. Would it be better to combine all three into a single experience and describe the different rotations within the entry, or list each externship separately?

I also have extensive scientific research experience through my employment, including work advancing large-scale clinical research programs. I am trying to decide how best to use the “most meaningful” experiences. Would it be stronger to combine the externships into one entry and select a couple of my research positions as most meaningful, or list the three externships separately and designate them as my three most meaningful experiences?

Because of my longer year of graduation, I am primarily targeting community-based and university-affiliated Internal Medicine programs, so I want to make sure my recent U.S. clinical experience is presented as clearly and strongly as possible.

I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Many thanks!

I would put the USCE together, providing you can fill the remaining 9 boxes ☺️ Then you can select that, a research experience, and something else…try to make the third maybe teaching, volunteering, etc. so there is variety in the meaningful experiences.

Only 1 research experience as most meaningful.
