Med Students
CORD Standard Letter of Recommendation (SLOR)
- ONLY Emergency Medicine Faculty are to complete the SLOR. Most programs with student clerkships are encouraged to have the Student Clerkship Director and/or the Program Director do a SLOR. You can get a start now by having the Clerkship Secretary pull the grades from LAST YEAR'S clerkship. This information is needed to complete item #4 of Section A on the first page.
- This year the CORD membership requested that letter writers state how many EM rotations this student has taken, including the one the grade reflects.
- You should also review the SLORs you authored last year for both the TOTAL # AUTHORED and the # RECOMMENDED in each of the Global Assessment rankings.

Very Competitive ~ 2X
Competitive ~ 4X
Possible match ~ 6X
