How to Reserve a Slot for an LoR
1. Log into MyERAS at
https://services.aamc.org/eras/myeras2010/.
2. Click on the Documents tab.
3. Click on the Letters of Recommendation tab.
4. Create a new letter writer by clicking Designate a New Letter of Recommendation Writer.
5. Enter the LoR Author Name and LoR Author Title/Department. The last field, Specialty(s) to which this letter will be assigned, is optional.
Important Note: The specialty field helps you identify your LoRs when assigning them to programs and helps ERAS Support Services identify LoRs when attaching them to your application. If you have a generic LoR that is applicable to all specialties, please specify the LoR as "All Specialty(s)." If you have a specialty-specific LoR, please specify the specialty to which the LoR applies.
6. Click "Save" when you are finished.
7. Repeat this process for all of your designated letter writers.
8. After you have finished designating your letter writers, click the check box next to the LoR(s) that you wish to reserve a slot for and enter your MyERAS password in the space provided.
9. Click "Submit Request" to complete the process. Make sure to click "Submit Request" instead of "Enter" after entering your password.
Important Note: Once you reserve the slot for your LoR, the LoR cannot be edited. If it contains errors, you will need to create a new slot as a replacement for the one containing errors. Inform ERAS Support Services at ECFMG of the error so that the document can be attached correctly.
