ERAS E-mail Series

New specialties require extra attention and constant communication to ensure a smooth and collaborative transition for coming online with the ERAS service. The ERAS E-mail Series keeps new specialty programs and users engaged and informed throughout their first year with the service. The series reviews information important to all users, and especially those unfamiliar with ERAS and how it fits into their overall recruitment plan. Topics selected are based on common questions and concerns of new users to ERAS. View the ERAS E-mail series.
