What is ERAS Registration?
Registration with ERAS allows program staff to:
- Indicate that your program will accept applications through
ERAS.
- Update the general program contact information that will be
displayed to applicants.
- Identify the type(s) of training that your program will offer.
- Designate an ERAS program contact, the person to whom we send
software instructions, manuals and other important ERAS information.
Tip: Be sure to include your program's Web address in your program
listing to assist in directing applicants to your program for relevant
application information including program accreditation, requirements
and deadlines.

When should programs register for ERAS 2010?
Program registration for ERAS 2010 is now closed.
Registration memos were sent to programs the week of March 2nd.
The memo included your program's login ID and password, which is

What is the process for osteopathic program registration for ERAS
2010?
There are two options for ERAS registration for osteopathic programs.
The first option is the centralized approach wherein the
GME office would be responsible for all recruitment activities.
This option allows the DME to designate responsibility for ERAS
to the GME office.
Note: If the centralized option is selected, ERAS
will send all information to the program contact on file (DME or
his/her designee) in the GME office. All information includes the
ability to download registration and software installation instructions,
User Guides, software upgrades information, etc. GME staff is also
responsible for processing incoming applications and working with
the DME and program staff to select applicants for the program.
The second option is the decentralized approach, which allows
each program to be responsible for their own recruitment activities
including program registration, installing software and downloading
applications. The program contact in ERAS would be program staff
(Program Director, coordinator, etc.) not GME staff; and this person
would be responsible for running ERAS for their individual program.
Whichever option is selected, the DMEs have been advised to communicate
their decision to their programs regarding whether the institution
will use the centralized or decentralized approach to ERAS.
Note: ERAS staff is not able to respond to questions regarding
DME instructions to programs. They may provide information regarding
the ERAS registration process, but do not have the authority to
control the recruitment process at individual institutions.
Osteopathic program staff should communicate with their DME to
determine which option he/she has selected.
