Building the Future of GME Recruitment with ERAS and Thalamus: Technology, Data, and Impact

Welcome to Building the Future of Recruitment, a six-part virtual learning series with the AAMC’s Electronic Residency Application Service® (ERAS®) and Thalamus.

We’re in a moment of transformation — one that challenges us to rethink how we recruit, select, and support the next generation of physicians. With transformation comes opportunity: to design with intention, to test new solutions, and to make mission alignment, strategy, and data central to every decision we make.

This series is your guided journey through that transformation. Grounded in the principles of design thinking, we’ll move from imagination to implementation — exploring the tools that power innovation, the frameworks that enable fairness, and the insights that inform smarter, more strategic recruitment decisions.

Each conversation builds on the last — inviting you to discover, ideate, prototype, and refine a better future for physician workforce development.

Let’s begin by showing you what is possible. Please review the dates and times on the Content tab. Please feel free to register for the whole series, or individual webinars, depending on your availability.
