I am sure this will help anybody clear their minds..
I recently received notice that i have been certified, what to do next?
I graduated in 2002, however i have a family to support, and was able to get a good job in the insurance industry while studying. Medical asst and other non-license requiring jobs unfortunately did not provide enough to live on.
Can somebody give me any advice. If i register with eras, what to do next, how do i know to what programs to apply, and what is the difference between eras and NRMP, is it expensive.
what to expect as a starting salary range during the first year. do they help you relocate. I live in Alabama, near Atlanta, what good programs are there? Im afraid i wont get into residence if i do not make enough. do the pay above 40K
Will it be like an intership, and then residency, or what. Are there any academic fees associated while in residency training.
what to submit during application, a CV, personal statement, what are those, can anybody post exampls.
Please, I know i feel stupid, but i really dont know how to start this process. Members i need guidance...

Now you need to go to ANA-FREIDA database http://www.ama-assn.org/vapp/freida/srch/ and select the programs to apply to. Usually residency salary range is below 40K. You can find salary range for each program in AMA-FREIDA database. Some program give you money money to relocate, some don't. You need both ERAS and NRMP to find a residency.

ok, this gives me a ball park figure. How about a side job, or side money. What do they refer as night float and moonlightning.
Are there any educational costs for residency, do you get book and educational material allowance, or are you on your onw on these. are there any expensas at all?

educational expences are not high, you can borrow the books from the library for no cost, many programs have some "educational money" which you can use to buy board preparation review
night flow refers to call schedule during the residency, you are eaither on 24-call every 3-4 days, or you only work days one months, and nights another month (night flow)
moonlighting is possibe, but there are some restrictions. You can't moonlight if you are on J-1 visa. You must have state license in order to moonlight in each particular state. State Boards have different licensing requirements for American graduates and IMGs. Most states allow American graduates to get licensed after completing 1 year of residency and passing Step 3. Most states don't allow IMGs to get a license before completing 2 or even 3 years of residency training.
