About this episode

In this episode, we talk to Dr. Ryan Ottwell, a PGY-4 at Trinity Health Dermatology Residency, about creating a strong ERAS application. Drawing from his experiences, Dr. Ottwell breaks down key components - from cover letters and letters of recommendation to hobbies - offering tips on how applicants can highlight their unique stories. Having successfully guided several medical students to match, he hopes these insights will help others navigate the process and is eager to continue mentoring students along the way. We hope you enjoy!
