For residency applications, how does a medical student get reference letters from big names in his/her field of choosing (if you don't go to a school with a strong department in that field)?
- do research with a big name during the first/second year summer
- rotate at hospitals with strong departments in your field and try to get acquainted with the big names
- at the very least, rotate at your own hospital's department and get a letter from the Chair
anything else?
