I know most people say to get 2 ophthalmology LORs and 1 internal medicine LOR for residency applications. However, I know that I can obtain a very, very strong letter of recommendation from a faculty member in a non-ophthalmology, non-core specialty.
On the flip side, I could also obtain a solid LOR from an IM faculty but I am confident it would not be as strong as the aforementioned one.
Therefore, I am wondering what you guys think the best course of action would be, since SFMatch recommends getting a letter from a core rotation.
