A major ERAS overhaul is coming in 2027, replacing the familiar “publications” field with a more rigorous category called “scholarly works.” Only peer‑reviewed submissions—such as manuscripts, abstracts, book chapters, and presentations—will qualify, shifting greater emphasis toward high‑quality research. While the change aims to give residency directors clearer insight into applicants’ academic contributions, many students worry that advocacy and policy work may lose visibility. As programs lean more heavily on research output in a post–Step 1 pass/fail era, future applicants will need to showcase not just what they’ve produced, but the depth and meaning behind it.
