ERAS will offer three Web-based training sessions for seasoned users of the ERAS PDWS software. Only seasoned users will be permitted to register for the Web-based training sessions.

Seasoned PDWS users are users who:

  • have used the PDWS for at least one recruitment cycle;
  • have utilized PDWS features like filter/sorts (in addition to downloading/printing applications); and
  • wish to get better efficiency and production from using the PDWS to process applications received.

Using Microsoft® Live Meeting®, ERAS will host an hour long session focusing on PDWS enhancements, features designed to help users further streamline the recruitment process and make the most of available PDWS tools. In addition, registered participants will be contacted prior to the training session to offer program specific topics to be covered during the session.

The sessions will be limited to 20 callers who will receive a special e-mail invitation. The invitation recipient can view the training from their own workspace or in a conference room where they can invite other staff to join them, thereby expanding learning opportunities for others in their program or institution.

Visit our meetings page to register for a Web-based training session. Registration is on a first come first served basis. Please contact Angelique Tindal, Administrative Services and Communications Manager for ERAS at atindal@aamc.org for information on the training.
