Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE)
What is the MSPE Appendix D?
The MSPE is a summary letter of evaluation intended to provide residency program directors an honest and objective summary of a student’s salient experiences, attributes, and academic performance. In 2016, the AAMC MSPE Task Force released recommendations for revising the MSPE that emphasized increased standardization across schools and inclusion of grading rubrics and comparative performance data. These recommendations remain in place, but some elements of them needed to be adapted for the upcoming residency application cycle to reflect the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
