What Are ERAS Headshots?
ERAS headshots are professional photographs submitted as part of the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS®) used by medical students applying for U.S. residency programs. These photos are included in your ERAS application profile and are often the very first visual impression you make on residency program directors.
**This image can influence how you’re perceived. Before anyone reads your personal statement or reviews your USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination) scores, they are going to see your headshot. That’s why choosing a photographer who understands the ERAS guidelines is extremely important** If you pair this with your great results and personal statement, you have a better chance of being noticed. Cut corners and risk being overlooked!
According to AAMC your Eras Headshot photo file should not exceed these requirements:
- Dimensions: 2.5 in. x 3.5 in.
- Resolution: 150dpi
- File Size: 150kb

Why Are ERAS Headshots Important?
- First impressions count: Your headshot is often viewed before any part of your application is read.
- Professionalism: A crisp, well-lit photo shows that you take your application seriously.
- Visual association: Your image becomes tied to your name and credentials during interview season.
- Confidence booster: A strong, professional photo helps you feel more confident about your application.
In a sea of qualified candidates, a sharp headshot can make you stand out for the right reasons.
Where Are ERAS Headshots Used?
Your ERAS headshot appears in multiple critical stages:
- Residency application profile within the ERAS system
- Interview invitations and confirmations sent to program directors
- Printed materials and interview-day rosters used by faculty panels
- Fellowship applications (if applicable in later years)
Because your photo follows you through the entire match process, it’s vital to invest in one that reflects your professionalism and personality.
