New Strategy Focuses on the ERAS® Program’s Unique Value to Applicants, Programs, and Schools

The ERAS team is prioritizing selection tools, data analytics, and thought leadership and research to support the transition to residency in a fair and equitable way. We are focused on the future and helping to build tomorrow’s physician workforce.

The Electronic Residency Application Service® (ERAS®) streamlines the residency application process for applicants, Designated Dean's Offices, letter of recommendation authors, and program directors.

The ERAS suite of selection tools serves the needs of all groups involved in the residency and fellowship application processes and transmits applications to programs impartially and securely.
