Kicking Off ERAS 2026: Setting Up the PDWS and an Intro to the Residency Explorer™ Tool - June 11

Includes a Live Web Event on 06/11/2025 at 1:00 PM (EDT)

Welcome to the Program Directors WorkStation (PDWS) for the ERAS 2026 Application Season!

Join us to learn about the steps to accessing the PDWS and the resources available to help you prepare for the season ahead.

This webinar is great for new users and for those looking for a refresher on getting back into the PDWS.

We’ll also introduce the Residency Explorer tool—a free, data-driven resource that applicants use to research residency programs and make more informed decisions. You’ll learn how your program’s information appears in the tool, where the data comes from, and how you can review your profile to ensure it reflects your program accurately.

Topics covered include:

  • ERAS background and important updates
  • ERAS timeline and key reminders
  • Initial registration on ERAS Program Management (EPM)
  • Navigating the ERAS website and accessing PDWS
  • Community Site access and learning resources
  • PDWS roles 101
  • Overview of the Residency Explorer tool and how programs can engage with it
  • Q&A
