Why your ERAS documents matter
Why ERAS document services decide whether you get the interview.
78%
of program directors cite the personal statement as a factor when deciding whom to invite for an interview

Selective Screening filters happen first — visa status, year of graduation, Step scores, ECFMG certification. Once you clear those, your application enters Holistic Review. This is where most IMGs lose ground.
Program directors are not reading deeply at this stage. They are scanning — for clarity, for trajectory, for evidence that you understand what U.S. residency expects. A weak personal statement or a poorly structured ERAS application will end your candidacy here.
This is the stage where strong applicants get filtered out and average applicants who present well get through. The difference is document development specific to your training, your specialty, and the U.S. residency standard. Once your application earns the invitation, the next decisive moment is residency interview preparation — but you have to get there first.
Two core services
Every document handled with the same standard.
Our ERAS Document Services are priced upfront. No subscriptions. No hidden fees. Pay once, work directly with your assigned mentor.
⚠ Capacity-limited. Each document is developed one-on-one with a mentor. We cap document intake during peak ERAS season to ensure every applicant receives full attention. Spots fill on a first-come basis once the season opens.
A note from IMGPrep
We don't edit. We develop.
There is a category of ERAS document services that competes on price by offering grammar checks and surface-level edits. Our fees look similar to many of theirs. Our work does not.
Editing accepts your draft as the foundation and corrects it. Development treats your draft as raw material and reconstructs it into something a U.S. program director will recognize as competitive. We don't cut corners on what your candidacy is, and we don't leave decisions about what to emphasize to the applicant alone.
Every IMG who works with us is interpreted — not just proofread. Your training, your experiences, and the trajectory they imply are read closely, then translated into the analytical voice U.S. Graduate Medical Education expects.
How we develop your documents
Three things every IMGPrep document does — in this order.
1
Interpret the candidate
We read your full background closely — education, clinical exposure, research, the path that brought you here — and form an analytical theory of who you are as a candidate. This is the foundation everything else builds on.
2
Align with the specialty
Internal Medicine and Surgery don't read the same way. Psychiatry and Pediatrics aren't reviewing for the same competencies. We adjust tone, structure, and emphasis against the standards your specialty actually applies — not a generic template.
3
Translate for U.S. GME
U.S. Graduate Medical Education expects a particular analytical voice — precise, evidence-bound, judgment-driven. We translate your training and experiences into that voice. This is what separates a competitive IMG application from one that reads as foreign-trained.
Without all three, your documents are incomplete. This is what 21+ years of ERAS development has taught us.
We appreciate the trust our clients place in us, and the years of referrals that brought you here. We do not take that lightly. We will continue to work toward excellence.
We want your application to work.

What to expect
How our ERAS Document Services work — a four-step process refined over 21+ years.
1
Intake & Questionnaire
Once you sign up, we send a detailed questionnaire built around the document you ordered. You complete it on your own time. This becomes the foundation your mentor works from.
2
Live Zoom Consultation
Your assigned mentor reviews your questionnaire and meets with you live to clarify themes, identify your strongest experiences, and plan the document's direction. This step is where development begins.
3
Mentor-Led Drafting
Your mentor develops the document — not just edits it. We construct the narrative, structure, and analytical voice from your raw material, aligned with your specialty and U.S. GME standards. This is the core of what you're paying for.
4
Revisions & Final Review
You receive your draft. Up to three rounds of revision for the Personal Statement, and up to three rounds for the ERAS/CAS Application. Every revision is mentor-guided, never auto-generated.
What sets us apart
Built specifically for international medical graduates.
Generic ERAS document services don't address the structural realities IMGs face. Ours does.
IMG-Specific Expertise
Every mentor on our team has personally guided IMG candidates through U.S. residency document development. We understand visa concerns, foreign medical school accreditation reviews, and the specific gaps program directors flag in international training.
Development, Not Editing
We don't take your draft and add commas. We construct the analytical voice U.S. GME expects from your raw experience — reorganized, reframed, and aligned with your specialty.
