What is a Deans Letter?
The Dean’s Letter is a letter of evaluation prepared during your last year of medical school. Unlike a letter of recommendation, which advocates for your suitability for a career in a particular specialty, the Dean’s Letter provides a summary of your achievements across all aspects of your medical education. Your Dean’s Letter includes specific information from your academic record including both didactic and clinical courses. Clinical faculty’s comments on evaluations, scholarships, awards and community service, and information about COMLEX are also specified.
