Great points by @jbcarmody on the new @ERASinfo secondary application tool. I'll add a few points & address some questions I've seen, particularly related to how the process will unfold in #dermatology for #Match2022. 1/
@jbcarmody@ERASinfo 1. Participation by individual programs is voluntary in #dermatology. We will encourage programs to participate but not mandate as a specialty.
2. Programs will decide whether the tool is required or optional for their applicants. 2/
