Universal Supplemental Evaluation Form

Please, please, please pass this on to everyone applying in orthopaedic surgery. Through the CORD (Council of Orthopaedic Residency Directors) we created a single universal supplemental evaluation form for the 5 programs in the country that require them (Brown, University of Washington, Vanderbilt, Washington University, St. Louis, and Yale). We did this to make your lives easier and so that you would not have to ask your attendings to fill out 5 different forms. Somehow, this information has not gotten out to everyone and lots of students are sending multiple forms to attendings - please make sure that you share this message with all of your peers around the country who are applying this year.

Thanks

MCW and UCSF-Fresno (1 letter writer only) are also requiring the form this year.

Please tell me they're accepting the same Universal form?

Yes sir, they are.

Thanks

What is the best way to get the Universal Supplemental Forms to programs? I've seen on some program websites that they want them through ERAS with your Letters of Recommendation and other schools say you can email them directly. If your Letter Writers put them with the letters, is there a way to keep it separate so that schools that are not requiring the forms don't have to see them? I know you can only send 4 LoR documents to each program. I'd hate to have to ask my letter writers to upload a version with the form and one without.
