Thank you for your interest
in our Diagnostic Radiology Residency training program at
the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria and
OSF Saint Francis Medical Center. As of August 19, 1999 our
program has changed it's listing with the National Residency
Match Program (NRMP) to a categorical position, therefore we
include the preliminary year of training. We are accepting
applications to start the PGY1 (clinical year) position
the upcoming academic year. The following information will help explain
the ERAS program.
This will help to explain the
important information about the application process. As you
are well aware, radiology participates in ERAS
(The Electronic Residency Application Service).
This computer program was developed in 1992 and enables all
application materials to be transmitted and received via the
Internet.
Your medical school will
provide you with all the information and help you need to
use this application service. The process is simple: you
complete your application on a disk and give it to your
dean’s office. On the disk you will specify which programs
you would like to apply to. All other information is scanned
by the dean’s office: transcripts, letters of
recommendation, personal statements, CV, and photograph. The
NBME and USMLE board scores will be sent by the respective
agency via the internet upon request.
Your dean’s office will send
all this information via the Internet to what is called the
ERAS Post Office. Each day programs across the nation will
"visit" the ERAS Post Office and download all files
addressed to them.
Following are important
things for you to know:
- USMLE, NBME, or FLEX
scores are required for application to our program.
These scores will not be sent automatically by your
dean’s office.
- A wallet-sized, color
photo is recommended but not required. The ERAS software
blocks the viewing of photos until a decision has been
made to interview the applicant.
- You can transmit up to
(4) four letters of recommendation but we only require
(3) three.
I hope that this information
has been helpful to you. Enjoy the web site and if you have
any questions about the program, the hospital or Peoria,
please do not hesitate to give me a call at (309) 655-7768
or E-Mail me at
Lorid@uic.edu. I look forward to hearing from you.
