How can the Electronic Residency Application Service® (ERAS®) help you find the best residency and fellowship applicants for your program?

ERAS® PROGRAM LEADERSHIP

Meet our senior director, Patrick Fritz

As the senior director of admissions and selection application services (ASAS), Patrick leads the strategic direction and operations of the ERAS and American Medical College Application Service® (AMCAS®) teams. Prior to taking on this new role in 2022, Patrick served as the senior director for the AMCAS program for four years, where he oversaw the development of the AMCAS for Schools analytics platform and the Choose Your Medical School selection tool. Patrick’s role reflects the commitment outlined in the AAMC’s strategic plan — as well as the community’s goals in admissions and residency selection — to identify diverse, capable future physicians, and to support learners at the undergraduate medical education and graduate medical education levels as they navigate these application processes.

The newly created ASAS team is focused on enhancing the ERAS suite of products, delivering data to all ERAS program participants to help improve informed decisions, and leading research that will improve the transition to residency process. The team is also streamlining the 2024 MyERAS application, incorporating questions and insight from the supplemental ERAS application, and expanding outreach and engagement efforts to improve transparency between programs and applicants.

Patrick earned a bachelor of arts in political science from Marquette University and a master of business administration from American University
