We are excited to announce that the ERAS Community site (http://connect.aamc.org/eras) is now live and open to all members! This new collaborative tool replaces our previous listserv and provides you with access to networking, as well as an easy-to-use discussion forum where you can connect, engage and share residency and fellowship recruitment process and best practices with other program members.
ERAS Community site (http://connect.aamc.org/eras) will be your go-to place to connect with other members, ask advice and share expertise about all things pertaining to the Program Director’s Workstation (PDWS). You can even share large files without cluttering your inbox!
Each member already has a customizable profile, so take five minutes and follow the instructions below to start making connections!
