Request for Letter of Recommendation
Please complete this questionnaire to request a letter of recommendation. You will need to provide the following: current CV (uploaded), a short description of your scholarly activities, and leadership positions you have served during residency and medical school.
Requests should be made at least one month in advance of the date needed to give the Program Director sufficient time to prepare it.
This request covers standard letters of recommendation for fellowships and jobs, post-residency. For other types of letters, please email Margaret Capalia, mcapalia@stanford.edu
Please note, the survey asks for some information which you will not yet have at the time of submitting your request--that is okay and you should still submit to provide adequate time for the LOR to be prepared. The survey asks you which fellowship programs you are applying to, but this does not need to be your final choices. It also asks to upload your ERAS form (see sample here), which provides your LOR writers with instructions on submitting their LOR into your application; you will not have this until June when you can access the electronic application. Once you have this form, email it to Margaret Capalia.
