Medical Student Performance Evaluations (MSPE); formerly Dean's Letter

The Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE), once submitted to residency programs, becomes a permanent part of the medical student academic record. This letter is required for fellowship applications and re-applicants going back through the Match. This record will be resubmitted in its entirety, for graduates who require this to be re-submitted. Please note as a permanent part of a student's academic record, the MSPE will not be updated or changed to reflect additional specialty choices or activities/accomplishments during residency. It is designed to be an evaluative "snapshot" of your performance at the end of medical school.

Residency Program Graduates

Graduate Medical Education provides residency credential verification. Please allow ten business days for processing. During high volume periods, processing may take longer.
