Letter of Board Eliginilty

My Chief was asked from his fellowship for a Letter of Board Eligibilty. Would someone have a template they would like to share?  Much appreciate it.

Tica,

I would either contact the fellowship or have your Chief contact the fellowship and clarify exactly what it is they are requesting.  A program cannot provide a letter of board eligibility, only the ABOS can provide such a letter as a candidate is not considered board eligible until they sit and pass Part I of the ABOS examination.   A program can state that the resident has met all educational requirements or is on track to meet all educational requirements established by the ABOS and has registered to take Part I.   The fellowship should provided clarification on exactly what they are requesting and should be aware that a residency program cannot provide a statement on board eligibility.

Hi Tica,

I agree to double check with fellowship for what kind documentation they are requesting. When I request this from my incoming fellows I will accept the confirmation email they receive when they register to take their board examination. I believe registration doesn’t open until some time in the Spring so my incoming fellows will typically ensure they will send it as soon as they register.
