How Sarthi team helps you

Your ERAS application and personal statement is one of the aspects of the USMLE match journey that you control and you can use it as a tool to impress the programs and create a positive impact.

A personal statement should be exactly that, a concise summation of who you are in the context of medicine and why you’ve chosen this field as your life’s pursuit. It should be a simple, well-written, error free, one-page statement that is easy to read.

Our panel of US journalists and physicians will work with you to transform your personal statement to an impactful story, which will be compelling to read and help you drive the interview. For example our team will take your anecdotes and convert these into powerful moments. We will work with aspects of your work experience, professional skills and future goals which you may highlight in your statement and convert it into a unique, personalized narrative. 


ERAS CV is also a very critical part of your portfolio and the Admissions Committee and the Program Director spend only a few minutes reviewing your application before they make the decision to invite you.

So all aspects of your ERAS CV matter, from seemingly minor issues like typos, grammatical errors to what content to write and how best to structure it.

Our team will review each component of the ERAS CV and guide you with specifics on the how to write each section so that you have an impactful CV. We will give you valuable tips and guidance on the work experience, hobbies, volunteer activities, research and every minor aspect of the ERAS CV, which will help you impress the programs and increase your chances of the interview.

We bring you our collective experience of over 1200 IMG personal statements and ERAS CVs that our team has evaluated, edited and improved over the past several years.
