Hi all,
Was wondering if below mix of letters would be appropriate for somebody applying for IM residency.
1)3rd year clerkship director-worked with him directly on inpatient
2) attending from subI
3)3rd year FM clerkship--i feel this would be an extremely positive letter, worked one on one with writer for 6 weeks. glowing comments in eval. but realize this is outside of IM and is another third year letter...has assured me will write "by far one of the best students I've worked with" sort of thing
Will be getting department letter as well of course.
I have subI coming up and then first two electives are not ideal for obtaining letters (attendings switch often) although I can probably switch out of one of them.

I went to over 10 interviews and no one ever mentioned the lack of an IM letter.
