ERAS® Information for Program Staff

The Electronic Residency Application Service® (ERAS®) is an integrated suite of tools that streamlines the residency and fellowship application and documents distribution process. It provides applicants with the ability to build and deliver their application and supporting materials either individually or as a package to residency and fellowship programs. It also provides a streamlined experience for Designated Dean’s Offices, letter of recommendation (LoR) authors, and program directors.
