Standardized Letter ofEvaluation(SLOE)

Standardized Letter of Evaluation (SLOE)*One SLOE per applicantApplicants shouldstill include twoOBGYN LORs(traditional or Chairwhere available)and one other LORhttps://apgo.org/page/rrrapplicant

FAQsWho should complete the SLOE?The SLOE can be completed by either an OBGYN faculty who worked directly with the applicant in the clinical setting orbe completed by a group of faculty who can use multiple sources of feedback and assessment data to create theevaluation. The SLOE form has been created to make it clear if the evaluation is being completed by an individualevaluator or as a group evaluation (composite SLOE).Should standard letters of recommendation (LORs) still be solicited?Yes. Traditional LORs should still be solicited as usual until further experience, guidelines and recommendations aboutthe SLOE are developed. For this cycle, applicants may solicit up to 3 additional LORs (not including the SLOE).Can a faculty fill out both a SLOE and a standard LOR?The letter writer should only complete a SLOE, and not provide a traditional LOR. The SLOE should convey enoughinformation about the applicant to programs.
