What is ERAS Fellowships?
ERAS Fellowships is a service that transmits fellowship applications, letters
of recommendation (LoRs), Medical Student Performance Evaluations (MSPEs),
medical school transcripts, USMLE/COMLEX transcripts, and other supporting
credentials from you and the ERAS Fellowships Documents Office (EFDO) to
program directors via the Internet. ERAS is made up of MyERAS (the Web site
where you create your fellowship application), the ERAS
Fellowships Documents Office (EFDO), the Program Director's Workstation
(PDWS), and the ERAS PostOffice.
Components of ERAS Fellowships
ERAS is comprised of four main components:
- MyERAS Web site. This is where you complete your fellowship
application and personal goal(s) statement, select programs to apply
to, and assign documents to be received by those programs.
Note:
You cannot access MyERAS until you have received an electronic token
from the EFDO.
- Dean's Office Workstation (DWS). This is ERAS software used
by staff at the EFDO. From this software, they create the electronic
token that fellowship applicants use to access MyERAS. They also use
this system to scan and attach supporting documents to your application,
such as photograph, medical school transcript, MSPE, and LoRs. Then
they transmit these materials to the ERAS PostOffice.
- Program Director's Workstation (PDWS). This is ERAS software
used by fellowship program staff to receive, sort, review, evaluate,
and rank applications.
- ERAS PostOffice. This is a central bank of computers that
transfer the application materials from fellowship applicants and the
EFDO to fellowship programs.
You can monitor the activity of your files on the ERAS PostOffice via
the Applicant Data
Tracking System (ADTS).
