Via ECFMG ERAS Letter Writer Portal (LWP)
The ECFMG ERAS Letter Writer Portal (LWP) provides letter of recommendation writers with the ability to upload original letters of recommendation (LoRs) directly to ERAS Support Services at ECFMG on behalf of an applicant. In order for a letter writer to upload an LoR on your behalf using LWP, you must send an electronic request to the letter writer using OASIS.

LoRs uploaded through LWP are expected to take one to two weeks to process. Applicants can track the status of their existing LoR requests from the request home page in OASIS. LoRs submitted electronically through LWP do not require the AAMC’s Request for Letter of Recommendation/Cover Sheet or a DSF. For more information, visit the Letter Writer Portal Requests page in the ERAS Support Services section of the ECFMG website.

Via ECFMG Medical School Web Portal (EMSWP)
Through the ECFMG Medical School Web Portal (EMSWP), international medical schools can submit supporting documents electronically, including LoRs, on behalf of their students/graduates who participate in ERAS. ERAS Support Services attaches and uploads these documents to the ERAS PostOffice typically within two to three business days of their receipt at ECFMG. A DSF is not required for documents submitted electronically to ECFMG. Receipt of documents submitted electronically by medical schools can be tracked in the ERAS Support Services Document Tracking System, which you can access via ECFMG’s OASIS.
