ERAS 2010 PDWS Training
ERAS 2010 Instructor-based PDWS Training
Each year ERAS offers regional classroom training sessions for the Program
Director's Workstation (PDWS) software, beginning in July. ERAS instructor-based
Program Director's Workstation (PDWS) training is a hands-on, step-by-step,
half-day training session designed for all residency and fellowship program
staff responsible for operating the PDWS.
We recommend only two (2) individuals from a program register for each
regional classroom session, as each training session will be limited to
the first 15-18 individuals, depending on the training location. Registration
is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please confirm your
registration with the AAMC Meetings Registrar prior to booking
nonrefundable flights.
Who should attend the regional PDWS training?
The regional PDWS training sessions are designed for any program staff
responsible for operating the Program Director's Workstation (PDWS) software.
All residency and fellowship program staff new to ERAS are encouraged
to attend the regional classroom training. These instructor based step-by-step
sessions will not be conducted on an advanced level.

ERAS 2010 Web-based PDWS Training (Seasoned Users Only)
ERAS will offer seven (7) Web-based training sessions for seasoned users
of the ERAS PDWS software. Only seasoned users should 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 and a
half 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 25 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.

ERAS 2010 PDWebRevue (PDWR)
The PDWebRevue is our first step toward enabling program users to access
applications remotely via the Web. Like the Home Copy tool, program staff
will have the ability to review application materials; but will not edit
or make any changes online. The goal of this first iteration of the PDWebRevue
is to provide basic PDWS functionality to users who need to work away
from the office. Instructions for using the PDWebRevue are included in
the PDWS User Guide. You may also contact the HelpDesk for assistance
with setting up your first couple of users.
Review the instructional tour which provides helpful step-by-step instructions
for using this new feature.
