Medical Resident Headshot Tips for ERAS and LinkedIn
Resident headshots are used in more places than most people expect.
A single strong photo can support applications, program pages, and your early professional profile.
Resident-Style Before/After Example
Here is a real before/after example you can use as a quality bar for resident profiles, ERAS pages, and early-career LinkedIn updates.
Keep your expression natural
You want to look confident and approachable, not overly serious.
Small expression changes can make a big difference.
Use a clean, professional crop
Chest-up framing is a safe default for ERAS and LinkedIn.
Avoid wide crops where your face appears too small.
Use one main image across channels
One clear image keeps your profile consistent from applications to networking.
You can keep a second backup image for special use cases.
