  • If you want EDRP, submit that application within four months of appointment, and note that former EDRP participants cannot apply.
  • Make sure your resume or C.V. clearly shows your residency, fellowship, board status, and license details, since these are verified.
  • If you are a veteran claiming preference, attach your DD-214 and any SF-15 proof, because preference requires documentation.
