Residents and Program Directors: New eSLOR Form Available   

  
The AOA’s CORD/Academics Committee has made available a new, electronic standardized letter of recommendation (eSLOR). The newest iteration of the eSLOR is intended to provide residency programs a more concise perspective on a candidate than what is traditionally outlined in a letter.

To access the eSLOR, visit the AOA/CORD webpage.
