Really appreciate you answering all these questions. Also, not sure if you'll even see and reply to this since this threads so old. But hoping for just an advising question.
My school PD and APDs say O-SLOEs and SS-SLOEs dont really matter, so maybe im stressing. But in addition to my 2 eSLOEs, I will likely have 3 additional SLOEs. One O-SLOE from the MICU (2 weeks, home), one SS-SLOE from Ultrasound (2 weeks, away), one SS-SLOE from Peds EM (2 weeks, home).
It seems like we can only submit up to 4 total letters, but i'll have 5. I know my MICU O-SLOE will be great because I saw my course evaluations, and my O-SLOE will be based off of those. I have a feeling my SS-SLOE will be strong because of my interest and skills in ultrasound (faculty often say as strong as most residents) + it is an away. my peds EM i think will be good, currently rotating on it and have one more shift, and I'll probably ask for a feedback session to get an idea of how strong that ss-sloe will be...
My interests lie in critical care and ultrasound, so i was leaning toward using those (MICU, US) for my other 2 sloe's since i feel they represent me better. But my hesitation is whether the peds EM ss-SLOE has more of an impact than the MICU o-SLOE because its subspecialty and not off-service.
Thank you for your time
