1 Writing Letters of Recommendation A Guide for USC-SOM Greenville Faculty Josh Brownlee, MD Overview Letters of Recommendation (LORs) are an important part of a student s application for residency training. In a NRMP survey of residency program directors, LOR s ranked second only to USMLE Step 1 scores in deciding which applicants a program will interview. Further, most program directors cited LORs as an important factor in ranking candidates for the Match. LORs are important because they convey far more about a candidate than grades, scores and class rank. Residency programs use them to learn about the student s clinical judgment, technical abilities, interpersonal skills and professional attributes. Although this guide is intended to assist faculty members who have agreed to write a letter on behalf of a medical student for their residency application, it may also be useful for LORs for other purposes.
