Schedule An Appointment to Discuss Your MSPE

During the month of May, students will be directed to schedule an appointment (June/July) with their assigned MSPE advisor to discuss their academic record. All appointments should be completed prior to July 30th.

Appointments can be scheduled through MyUpstate. Students will receive an email prompting them to make appointments, with directions on how to do so. Subsequent appointments should be scheduled directly with the MSPE letter writer.  The MSPE is not a letter of recommendation. Rather, it is an evaluation that includes a summary of the pre-clerkship phase of medical school and grades and narratives from clerkship year courses.  The MSPE also documents class rank which is based solely on required clerkship year courses.  Students will be assigned a MSPE advisor who will work with them to complete the MSPE and ensure that they are prepared to submit their residency application. In the event of a conflict of interest or discomfort with an assigned MSPE advisor, a student may request a different advisor by contacting the Dean of Student Affairs. The earliest date for releasing MSPE’s is the end of September/early October.  This includes ERAS, "early" matches and the Armed Services match.
