Hey Everyone, so an interesting LOR question.
I recently touch-based with an old research mentor (I was a member of research internship program that she founded and did research with her in undergrad). This experience was very formative in my eventual selection of my specialty (the research was done in my specialty). She’s now the Executive Director of a world-renowned hospital Dept. in this specialty (she is NOT an MD though). She actually asked if she could write me a letter for my upcoming residency application.
My questions are:

My questions are:
- Can I use this letter even though this experience occurred in undergrad/she is a PhD?
- She wants my CV and instructions as to what I want her to write. If I can use the letter, what should I tell her to write?
