    Date:
    Letter Writer:
    Applicant Name:

    Thank you for agreeing to write a letter of recommendation in support of my residency


    application. This sheet explains the special procedures needed to prepare a letter for ERAS ⎯
    the Electronic Residency Application Service.

    Please send the letter of recommendation on original institutional letterhead to the ECFMG for
    transmission to ERAS using the following formation:

    1. Write your letter on official institutional letterhead and manually sign the letter with
    “blue ink.” Only if you have an official institutional seal, please affix the institutional
    seal to enhance the authenticity of the letter.
    2. Address the letter to "Dear Program Director;" letters with individualized salutations
    cannot be processed in the ERAS system. (I would be happy to provide you a list of
    programs to which I am applying).
    3. Include in your letter whether or not I have waived my right to see this
    recommendation, as indicated below.
    4. Include my name and AAMC ID, as listed above, in the subject line or body of the
    letter.
    5. Print your letter so that it may be scanned and added to my files.
    6. Attach this sheet to your letter before sending it, to help the ECFMG identify your
    letter with my file.
    7. Finally, please deliver the letter to the ECFMG at the address below.

    Thank you for supporting my residency application.

    ______ (I waive) _____ (I do not waive) my right to see this letter. If "waive" is checked, I
    waive my right to see this letter under the "Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
    (FERPA)." I acknowledge that this letter is for the specific purpose of supporting my
    application for a residency.
