Just wondering what your opinion is. For FM residencies, do you just submit letters from FM docs (assuming you think they are of top quality), or do you add some different letters as well. Maybe a dumb question, but maybe there are some DO NOT's that I am unaware of. Thanks in advance.

As long as they write you an outstanding letter, their specialty is not that important. It's especially helpful if the letter-writer is well-known and well-respected. You should have at least one letter from somebody in FM, preferably someone highly-placed in your medical school's FM department and/or someone who's had the chance to see you in action (a preceptor, etc.)

Thanks for the quick reply KentW. That's along the lines I was thinking. Have a good one.
