AAMC has reached an agreement with the NBME regarding the cost for transmitting
NBME or USMLE transcripts to programs. A flat fee will be charged applicants
who request transmission of scores regardless of the number of transcripts
they request (Step 2 is included in the fee if you want this score sent
as well). IMPORTANT: Make sure USMLE transcripts have been assigned
to each residency program you selected.
Add Residency Programs? If at a later date you want to apply to
more programs, you can add them via the web. You should then pay by credit
card or send in a check to the AAMC for the extra amount.
Non-ERAS Programs
- You will have to request application forms from these programs.
- You will have to provide faculty with labels to mail their letters
of reference to non-ERAS programs only.
- You will have to provide labels to non-ERAS programs for mailing
your MSPE (Dean's Letter) and transcript (turn these in to Student
Affairs).
- You will have to request the NBME send copies of your USMLE scores
to non-ERAS programs. (Phone no: 215/590-9723)
