And I also think that we've discussed that on a seperate thread.

medinfo21 - 01-23-08 15:42 Hi,
Any one tried electronic residency service last year? I would like to know is it worthy to pay or can we manage scramble. Eventhough electronic residency send our application to all unfilled programs, does programs going to refer our applicaton at that busy time? Bcz i heard that programs don't even respond to our calls. A jenuine advice from personally experienced person is appreciated.

InSitu - 01-23-08 21:54 Electronic Residency has an honest service. They do no guarantee a position but the job will be done in terms to sending your application. Also they allow residency programs to access thier applicant database and I think this worth much. You can add yourself to thier database free. The difference of paying or not paying for the service s faxing and emailing and your position in the database will be featured. Its true that a lot residency programs may not look at faxes but many will check thier emails. Saying that, do not want to skip over the fax and email part even if you decide to do it on your own.

Re: Scramble service
InSitu - 01-24-08 22:22 go to electronicresidency.com . Register, fill their application AND CERTIFY IT and upload your documents. When done with that you are automatically part of their database. If you want your application faxed and emailed and your portfolio features in the database then you have to activate (pay for the service) if you dont activate you are simply listed in between all applicants.
