As far as I learned, there are some internal medicine residents who are not able to go into fellowship right after residency, either because they haven't decided on subspecialty in the second year, or was not fully prepared for the application, or need to solve some visa issue, or some other reason.
So my question is: if you get a letter of recommendation for cardiology in PGY 2 for example, but apply for cardiology fellowship after working as a hospitalist for 1 or 2 years, is this letter still useful for application? Is it considered outdated? If that is true, then how do you manage to get letters if you apply later?
Thanks in advance!
