Please advise: SLOE and transferring to ED program.

[YouMDbro101]

I am a current resident looking to transfer to an ED residency program through the match.

According to CORDem, I do not qualify for SLOE and they are only for medical students. So does this mean my ED letters will be written as regular LORs. I'm not quite sure how to proceed with my LOR requests.

@gamerEMdoc would be the perfect person to answer this. I believe the answer is standard LoR's, but I could be mistaken.

Typically regular LORs. Sometimes people who are doing a prelim will get a SLOE from their EM rotation, but that's really not the point of the SLOE, it just doesn't make sense. The SLOE is an evaluation of a student, comparing them to other students, what grade they got on the rotation, etc. For residents, it makes more sense to get regular LORs.
