The Importance of a Professional Medical Residency Headshot

A high-quality professional headshot is vital when applying for a medical residency program. Professional headshots are critical for today's physicians — show program directors your determination to pursue your career. So much work is invested in the start of your career that a professional headshot is something you should not pass up. Since ERAS started requesting headshots, we've photographed an increasing number of MDs every year, and the standard for Electronic Residency Application photos has risen every year.

Whether it's a prospective employer looking you up online or fellow physicians reaching out for a referral, your profile image helps build your practice. First impressions form in about 1/10th of a second — make sure your expression says what you need it to say.

Lighting, Backdrop, and the Right Format

On average, you are 14 times more likely to be picked for an interview if you have a professional headshot. A photo without professional lighting and backdrop can seriously hurt your chances of landing your dream residency program. A professional headshot, at its simplest level, shows you care enough to invest in a professional portrait.

Important: we strongly recommend your residency portrait be taken on a light gray or white background — it stands out more on ERAS as a thumbnail and is statistically more likely to be clicked on.

Correct format and specifications: the ERAS format is 2.5" × 3.5" at 150 dpi, with a maximum file size under 100 KB. Uploading anything in a different format can cause issues and might not be accepted. We format your image correctly and take care of all the specifications needed.
