Neurology Residency Requirement

[aduuubacsi]

Hello,

I'm currently an M3 and interested in neurology, I was wondering if it is a requirement to get 2 LOR from a neurologist or can I use 1 general LOR from an FM doc, 1 IM and 1 neurologist?

Minimum of 1 neurology letter. If you can get 4 letters then you can use 2 neuro ASSUMING they are gonna be strong letters for ya

Nah, that’s overkill

You should prioritize letter quality over writer's specialty, but I would typically expect a medical student at a medical school with a neurology rotation and neurology electives/acting internship to have most/all of their letters from neurologists.
