UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS
UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS
We are pleased to offer this Medical Student Performance Evaluation for Jill Bruin as a
candidate for your post-graduate training program. Jill spent her early years as a globetrotter
while her parents found stable footing on their career journeys. Born in New York City, she
bounced to New Jersey and Australia, before landing in Irvine, California where she attended
Sage Hill School. There she put her versatile strengths on display. She competed in crosscountry, soccer, and track and field, captaining each team. Jill was editor-in-chief of the school
newspaper, a student ambassador, a member of the Honor Committee, and was selected by the
faculty to give the senior speech at the end-of-year Awards Ceremony. She participated in
community service for six years with the National Charity League and through Sage’s Service
Learning program. Of note, volunteering with young girls at an underserved elementary school
helped her realize her passion for helping people.
At Claremont McKenna College, Jill majored in Science and Management, a blend of biology
and economics. She received the Rose Hills Foundation Scholarship and graduated cum laude
with honors, and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Jill completed her senior thesis working
with Beckman Coulter, doing strategic planning for commercialization of new laboratory
equipment. She also did research in a cognitive neuroscience lab, which resulted in a
publication. Never giving up on her athletic pursuits, she was a four-year, two-sport varsity
athlete, participating in both soccer and track and field. As a senior, Jill was voted captain of
the track and field team. Always looking to take on greater challenges, she was co-chair of the
Student Athletic Advisory Committee. Highlighting her athletic and academic achievements,
Jill received the Female Scholar Athlete award, given to the athlete with the highest GPA.
MSPE SECTIONS:
UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS - CONTINUED
While in medical school at UCLA, Jill continued to excel and has remained
involved with athletics while also staying engaged in her research and
community service. She volunteered extensively at our student-run mobile
clinics, providing care to the underserved around Los Angeles. Additionally,
she was appointed mentorship co-chair for UCLA’s American Medical
Women’s Association chapter. She created opportunities for mentorship
between undergraduates and current medical students, as well as between
medical students and physicians. With regards to her research, Jill explored
how virtual reality simulators and task deconstruction can be used to teach
residents surgical skills. Her research resulted in a paper, on which she is the
first author. Ever the athlete, Jill ran the NYC Marathon and continued to play
competitive soccer. Jill has received a Letter of Distinction in Pediatrics
which, in a pass/fail grading system, is our way of acknowledging an
exemplary performance on the required clerkships.
MSPE SECTIONS:
1ST & 2ND YEAR SUMMARY
Years One and Two
Jill’s academic performance during the basic science years was excellent; at the
completion of her second year, she accumulated very high marks from all with
whom she worked. Although fairly reserved, she was always engaged and
offered profoundly insightful comments and questions that spurred the learning
of the class as a whole. One instructor referred to her “quiet competence” and
another remarked on her “good clinical instincts; understands how to apply
what she is learning to the patients under discussion.”
As part of the DGSOM First and Second Year Selective Program, students are
required to take at least one seven-week course of their choosing during the
first two years. Jill successfully completed four selectives: “Ethnic Diversity in
Diet and Nutrition,” “Medical Genetics,” “Surgical Anatomy,” and
“Introduction to Biomedical Research” all in an excellent fashion.
In June 20XX, she passed USMLE Step 1 with a score of 224.
MSPE SECTIONS:
CLINICAL EVALUATIONS
Systems-Based Healthcare (Required)
For the duration of the 3rd year
Center for Health Sciences
Jill is a bright, caring, and very likable student. She is an active participant in class
and helps make for lively discussions. Jill has shown her leadership skill when
running the class discussions. She will volunteer when someone is needed. Her
presentations are excellent. She has completed all the tasks of the System Based
Healthcare course in a great and timely manner. She shows an appreciation for
patient care issues and has much to contribute. She will make a great physician.
Jill received a Letter of Distinction in Systems-Based Healthcare
MSPE SECTIONS:
FINAL SUMMARY
EXAMPLE 1 (Top Notch/AOA)
Jill Bruin is absolutely terrific, excelling academically and contributing significantly to our institution and to the academic
community. As a leader and team member, she takes pride in thoroughly understanding the needs of those she represents,
and to that end, her integrity is beyond reproach. In the clinical arena, faculty members praise her strong knowledge base,
her mature skillset, and her compassionate humanistic approach to patient care. In short, Jill represents all of the
attributes we hold most dear in the profession. Her outstanding accomplishments throughout her clinical training are
reflected by her wonderful USMLE Step 2 score of 250, and even more importantly by the three Letters of Distinction
that Jill was awarded—a feat achieved by only 24% of the class. Consistent with all of the above, Jill was elected to
Alpha Omega Alpha this fall. If you’re looking for an incredibly warm, sincere, talented individual with a tremendous
work ethic, great clinical skills and delightful people skills, you have found her, and we’re so proud that Jill will be
representing UCLA as she makes her mark in the years ahead!
We are pleased to present Jill U. Bruin for your consideration.
EXAMPLE 2 (Clinically Strong/Academic Issues)
Joe Bruin is a bright and compassionate individual who stands out above the rest as a leader and role model. His initial
performance on USMLE Step 1 should not in any way deter a program from recruiting this wholly capable
student. Instead, we ask that you note his praiseworthy clinical evaluations to obtain a more accurate picture of his
abilities and skills. Faculty members note Joe’s outstanding interpersonal abilities, depth of knowledge, clinical judgment,
and ability to work seamlessly with the team. Furthermore, he earned two Letters of Distinction on the clerkships—a feat
achieved by only 37% of his class. Joe is a most gifted teacher, whose expertise in social sciences adds to the richness that
he will bring to his program. Joe’s enthusiasm is unparalleled and one would be hard-pressed to find someone with more
dedication to his patients and team. If you’re looking for a bright, exceptionally mature and talented applicant with strong
clinical skills, a fantastic work ethic, and the most delightful people skills, then you have found him!
We are pleased to present Joe U. Bruin for your consideration.

AWAY ELECTIVES
VSAS OVERVIEW
VSAS® is an AAMC application designed to streamline the
application process for senior "away" electives at U.S.
LCME medical schools and independent academic medical
centers that are members of the Council of Teaching
Hospitals and Health Systems (COTH). The service requires
only one application for all participating institutions,
effectively reducing paperwork, miscommunication, and
time. VSAS also provides a centralized location for
managing offers and tracking decisions.

ELECTRONIC RESIDENCY APPLICATION SERVICE (ERAS)

ERAS is the Electronic Residency Application Service
developed by the Association of American Medical
Colleges to transmit electronically the residency
applications, personal statements, recommendation
letters, Medical School Performance Evaluations (MSPE),
transcripts, and other supporting credentials from
medical schools to residency program directors.
GLOSSARY & TERMS
NATIONAL RESIDENT MATCHING PROGRAM
The NRMP Main Residency Match provides an impartial
venue for matching applicants' preferences for residency
positions with program directors' preferences for
applicants. Each year approximately 16,000 U.S. allopathic
medical school seniors and 15,000 graduates of
osteopathic, Canadian or foreign medical schools compete
for approximately 24,000 residency positions.
GLOSSARY & TERMS
CATEGORICAL/ADVANCED/PRELIMINARY
There are four categories of programs participating in the Main Residency Match:
1.
Categorical (C) programs begin in the PGY-1 year and provide the training
required for board certification in medical specialties. Categorical programs in
primary care medicine and primary care pediatrics are designated by (M) to
distinguish them from regular medicine and pediatrics programs.
2.
Advanced (A) programs that begin in the PGY-2 year after a year of
prerequisite training.
3.
Preliminary (P) or one-year programs beginning the PGY-1 year and provide
prerequisite training for advanced programs.
4.
Physician (R) programs are reserved for physicians who have had prior
graduate medical education. Physician programs are not available to senior
U.S. medical students.
5.
The NRMP is not an application service or a job placement service. Applicants
must apply directly to residency programs in addition to registering for the
Match. Most programs participate in the Electronic Residency Application
Service (ERAS), which transmits residency applications to program directors
via the Internet. Applicants must register with both NRMP and ERAS to
participate in the services of each.
