The Need for a Good ERAS Headshot

 

South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville Students – You live in Greenville, SC and you’ve spent the past several working towards your dream of practicing medicine.  Sure, you breezed through biochemistry and gross anatomy.  Unfortunately, intellect isn’t everything when applying to residency programs.  A good ERAS headshot with correct lighting communicates your enthusiasm and competence as well.  Wouldn’t it be great to tilt the odds in your favor when submitting your application photo for your residency interview?  Now you can!

What to expect when you arrive for your headshot session:

Not everyone is comfortable having their photos for ERAS made (why do you think I prefer to be behind the camera 😉 and thus your residency application portrait will be a quick, easy and relaxing experience (think Thai beaches, minus the hagglers hawking t-shirts and useless trinkets).  Don’t worry about blotchy skin, coffee-stained teeth or bags under your eyes from last night’s rotation (that’s the beauty of Photoshop).   I will set up the lighting prior to your arrival and thus economize on your valuable time.  All you need to do is bring the proper attire and your smile.  Your professional portrait is photographed on a solid white or gray background to conform to ERAS.

Do’s and Don’ts for submitting ERAS photos to residency committees:

-Do wear the business attire from the waist up (yes, I’ve photographed several students wearing shorts, cutoffs, etc.).  Men, this means a jacket and tie (preferably not the bow tie you wore during your frat days to impress the coeds… and you still went home alone!).   Solids are always better than patterns and loud colors.

-Do shave (men).  The Don Johnson look was cool…before you were born (incidentally, Miami Vice bombed at the theaters in 2006).  This look hasn’t been in style since the 80’s.  Let’s all do our part to keep it that way.

-Don’t submit a selfie as a headshot.  This will be the worst decision you ever make.  Need I say more?

-Don’t submit a photo with your application that can damage your chances of being accepted (see previous two bullet points).

-Don’t wear your white coat (The residency committee probably assumes that you’ve spent a few years in med school).  No need to restate the obvious.

-Don’t stay up worrying the night before. I’ve created hundreds of headshots for everyone from Fortune 500 execs to medical doctors at Emory University.  Relax, you are in good hands.
