ERAS Fees
ERAS processing fees are based on the number of programs applied to per specialty. MyERAS automatically calculates your fees and you may pay online. ERAS fees are the same for all residency and osteopathic applicants although the fee structure is applied separately for applying to ACGME-accredited and AOA-accredited programs.
Those applicants applying to both ACGME-accredited and AOA-accredited programs are charged the processing fees separately. See Example 6.
| Number of Programs Per Specialty/Accrediting Body (ACGME or AOA) | ERAS Fees |
| Up to 10 |
$60
| 11-20 | $8 each |
| 21-30 | $15 each |
| 31 or more | $25 each |
Example 1: An applicant applies to 30 emergency medicine programs, fees are $290. (60 + (10 x $8) + (10 x $15)).
