How does the MSPE process work?
Spring :
Complete online MSPE Questionnaire - Done
June:
Mandatory Application Process Meeting - Now
July 1:
Issued ERAS token by SAO to Mednet account – make sure there are no junk
mail filters set
• All students (early match too) register on ERAS
July-September:
Meet with Dean Parker (appointments will be scheduled by SAO and assigned to
you…if you cannot make your assigned appointment time you will be
rescheduled at the end of the list. Again, don’t worry, every student will
meet with Dr. Parker and have an MSPE completed and released at the exact
same moment, so it neither harms nor helps you to meet with him early vs.
late)
How does the MSPE process work?
July-September:
Complete ERAS application, finalize CV and Personal Statement, begin to
submit to programs.
August-September:
MSPE Editing Begins
• You are notified by SAO when your MSPE is ready for review… again,
we will ensure that you all have MSPEs completed before the
deadline so do not worry about this!
September 15:
Last day for faculty to submit evaluations to be included in MSPE, so schedule
your Sub-I’s accordingly if you want them included.
October 1:
MSPEs released automatically to all programs (National Deadline).
What does an MSPE Look Like?
• All Medical Schools follow the AAMC
guidelines to format and submit their MSPE.
• All have the same headings and content.
For review of the guidelines:
https://www.aamc.org/download/139542/data/mspe.pdf
What goes into the MSPE?
• Unique characteristics (based on your input)
• Years 1&2 evaluations summarized in 2
paragraphs
– Does NOT include exam scores
• All of Year 3 evaluation comments (verbatim)
• Summary of academic progress (including
gaps or leaves of absence)
• Summary paragraph written by Dr. Parker
What Is Removed from the Evaluation?
• PDA logs
• Attendance (Unless it is an issue noted within the narrative of
the evaluation.)
• Nomination for a LOD (If you received one, it will be noted in
bold at the end of the evaluation.)
• Exam scores or percentiles
• References to graded presentations
• Physician/evaluator names
• Websites and journal citations
• Dates of Clerkships (the MSPE is written in chronological
order)
Evaluations and the MSPE
•
•
•
Evaluations go in verbatim-remember, this is an evaluation not a recommendation
The only way to have comments revised on your MSPE is to have the Clerkship Director
submit new comments on ESS. ***THIS MUST BE DONE WITHIN SIX WEEKS OF YOUR
EVALUATION BEING SUBMITTED TO ESS
– All Sub-I and revised comments must be submitted to the SAO on ESS by September
15, 2013 in order to be included on the MSPE.
– Jason and Meredith will not be able to make revisions or alter your evaluations in any
way during the MSPE review process
Questions or concerns about evaluations should be discussed with Dr. Parker, Jason, or
Meredith before approaching Clerkship Director.
Scheduling: Adding an Elective
MyCourses: Medstudent webpage  Academic Resources
• Adding an elective:
– All elective adds must be done 30 days before the
start of the elective.
– Contact the student coordinator to see if there is
availability.
• Externs are not reflected on MyCourses roster, so even
though it appears there is space for you, the elective may be
full.
– Submit an “Add/Drop Form” to the coordinator.
• You or the coordinator will submit the signed Add/Drop
Form to Monica Perkins in the SAO. She will add it to your
schedule. The change will be reflected in MyCourses.
Scheduling: Dropping an Elective
• Dropping an elective:
– You can drop a course from MyCourses 30 days
before the start of the elective.

Lessons and advice from past grads…
Some advice…
• No matter how smart or how well-respected someone is, they
don’t know you. Stay true to yourself, take your time deciding,
and don’t show all your cards at once.
• Pick a specialty because it makes you happy-not because
someone thinks it is more prestigious or just because you would
match in it.
• Interview lots of places and meet lots of people-this process
helped tremendously for fellowship applying
• Make UCLA look good and protect our reputation for future
applicants! Go to your interviews, never cancel last minute,
show up on time, and always be polite.
• Enthusiasm and sincerity worked better than anything else on
my application!
• Call us! We are here to help!
