In an effort to reach 100% participation, ERAS has extended the program deadline to opt into signals from June 30th to July 26th, 2024, to allow for more programs to complete their registration and indicate their program signal participation.

New AAMC data snapshot examines DEI efforts at U.S. medical schools


A new AAMC data snapshot explores themes and perspectives among medical school faculty on institutional diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts and highlights specific actions for leaders to consider. Actions to support and foster DEI are essential to successfully achieving the missions of academic medicine. The promotion of these efforts in medical education is part of a broader movement to dismantle systems of oppression in the United States, such as providing equitable support among medical school faculty with the goal of diversifying the physician workforce. To capture the impact of institutional investment in formal DEI efforts, new questions were added to the AAMC StandPoint Faculty Engagement Survey in 2021 to assess perceptions of diversity in the medical school workplace and solicit suggestions for how to improve efforts related to DEI.
