ERAS Access
In accordance with the All in Match Policy, Endocrinology Fellowship programs are required to execute the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for ERAS access for the upcoming 2025 recruitment season (July 2026 fellowship start date). MOUs will be emailed to individual Program Directors via DocuSign.
- May 2, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EDT: Programs that execute this MOU with APDEM (by completing and submitting the DocuSign agreement) a) will be listed in ERAS as a participating program in early June 2025; and b) will be able to receive candidates’ ERAS applications using the ERAS Program Director WorkStation beginning on July 16, 2025.
- Programs that execute this MOU after May 2, 2025, will have access to candidates’ applications, and they will be listed in ERAS as a participating program, but they may not initially be visible to candidates (as a participating program) in early June. ERAS will NOT inform candidates of the late addition of participating programs.
- Programs that do not execute this MOU will not be listed in, nor have access to, ERAS for this recruitment season.
Program Signaling
In an effort to address application inflation and improve match success and efficiency, APDEM will participate in Program Signaling for the 2025-2026 Fellowship Application Season. This decision was based on careful analysis of applicant volumes in the virtual interview era, solicited program director feedback at the annual APDEM meetings in 2024 and 2023, and ongoing discussions between the AAMC, the Fellowship Recruitment Committee, and APDEM Council.
All Endocrinology fellowship programs will be automatically opted in to participate in Program Signaling in 2025-2026. Individual programs will have the option to opt out (deadline June 18, 2025) if they prefer not to participate (this can be done via the “Program Management” tab in the Program Director’s Workstation).
For the 2025-2026 fellowship application season, all Endocrinology applicants will be allotted 5 Program Signals.
Specific detailed recommendations for Program Directors and Fellowship Applicants on the use of Program Signals will be provided in late Spring 2025.
