What kind of prelim are you? IM, TY, other? I would think transitional or straight medicine would both prepare you for combined EM/IM. I would talk to your PD and let them know your plans. You will need their help later getting time off for interviews. I think a month or 2 is enough time for a LOR if they interact with you in that time. Make sure you're not on some random rotation out of the dept that month.
