Hi,

Did anyone apply to multiple residencies (i.e a competive one like one of the early matches (i.e. urology, otptho, ent, etc)) and also a backup in the regular match like IM or may apply both derm and IM? IF so, how'd u coordinate the LORs? thanks.

I applied to Integrated Plastics and General Surgery and had letters for both. Since both were going through the NRMP, I had them all uploaded to the ERAS server and I simply designed the LORs from Plastic Surgeons to go to the PRS programs and Gen Surg letters to go to Gen Surg programs.

Means you need more letters or at least letters which don't really specify what you're applying for, or different versions of the same letter from the same writer.
