Hey guys, I'm a 4th yr looking to go into IM at a preferably academic hospital. Prob a dumb question, and I apologize if its wasting thread space lol, but I'm in a dilemma as to which letters to upload. How important is it for IM programs that letters come from IM physicians?
Currently, I have 3 IM letters and a IM chair letter. The problem is I know one of the letters is probably mediocre, and the I found out that the person who writes the IM chair letters for my school is brutally honest (which isn't necessarily good in a LOR lol).
I have stellar FM and Ob letters, and between the two, would it matter which I chose for programs that limited LOR to 3? Or in your opinion, should I just use the IM letters for the sake that it is IM.
