Your Guide to a Polished Residency Photo in Metro Detroit
If you’re applying to residency at Beaumont Hospital or any Michigan-based program, your ERAS photo is one of the first things program directors see. It’s not just a picture — it’s your first impression.
As a headshot specialist in Bloomfield Hills, I’ve photographed hundreds of medical students across Michigan, including many applying to Beaumont, DMC, U of M, and Ascension. Here’s what you need to know to get your ERAS photo right the first time.
📐 ERAS Photo Requirements (And Why They Matter)
ERAS has strict formatting rules:
-
Dimensions: 2.5 in x 3.5 in (4:5 aspect ratio)
-
Resolution: 150dpi
-
Format: JPG
-
Max File Size: 100KB
-
Background: Light gray or white
-
Clothing: Professional (typically a suit jacket and dress shirt/blouse)
If your photo doesn’t meet these specs, it can be rejected — or worse, look distorted on every application portal.
