Frequently Asked Questions
Do you know the exact photo requirements for the ERAS application?
Yes. We stay up-to-date with the latest AAMC guidelines to ensure your photo is never rejected. We format your final digital file to the exact specs: Dimensions 2.5 x 3.5 inches, Resolution 150 dpi, File Size optimized to be under 100kb, Background white or light grey (per standard recommendations).
Should I wear my white coat in the photo?
Generally, no. For your primary ERAS application photo, Program Directors expect Professional Business Attire (a suit or blazer). The white coat is typically reserved for after you have matched. However, if you would like a second option in your white coat for LinkedIn or other uses, bring it along.
What is the best color to wear?
Solid, dark colors work best to convey professionalism. Best options are navy blue, charcoal, or black jackets. Avoid busy patterns, neon colors, or sleeveless tops. For men, a solid or subtle patterned tie is highly recommended. For women, a simple blouse or high-neck dress under a blazer frames the face well.
Can I wear glasses in my headshot?
Yes. If you wear glasses daily and plan to wear them during your interviews, you should wear them in your photo so you are recognizable. We use professional lighting and retouching techniques to eliminate glare on your lenses.
Should I smile or look serious?
You should aim for a confident and approachable look. A warm, natural smile is usually best because Program Directors are looking for a colleague they will enjoy working with during long shifts. We will coach you through different expressions during the session to find the one that feels most genuine.
How fast will I get my photos?
We know the application deadline is stressful. The session takes just 30 minutes. We select your best image immediately. You receive the formatted file within 2 business days.
Do you retouch the photos?
Basic image corrections are included with the $150 ERAS session. These include color, exposure and eyeglass glare correction for the ERAS application file.
Full professional retouching is included with the $100 Professional Headshot Add-On. This may include individualized attention to skin, temporary blemishes, under-eye areas, shine, flyaway hairs, teeth, clothing and other distractions while maintaining a natural appearance.
