Hi! I use ERAS to issue the initial bulk email to invite applicants, but I schedule and communicate visit information outside ERAS, for exactly the reasons you mention. I eventually create Private Events in ERAS to enter the applicant names for my own sorting purposes. Since only my program director uses ERAS for reviewing applications, we don’t use many of the features Scheduler offers. We also interview 40-45 applicants, which makes scheduling off-line less of a time demand than a larger program would have. For instance, our EM residency interviews over 200 in a season, so they had to automate.
