Description
Summary:Academic promotion, representing achievement of a level of distinction in one's body of work, is an honorable accomplishment in a faculty member's career. External letters of review written by faculty at higher ranks are a critical component of the promotion portfolio. We discuss key considerations for writing external letters.

We also highlight how professional societies can aid faculty in developing and strengthening writing and mentoring capabilities for this vital task.
