Hey all, I go to a midwest school with no residency program for Emergency Medicine. I've been reading up on getting into an emergency medicine residency, and think I should be semi-competitive. I noticed, however, that "who you know" can always help especially if you're looking into some of the places that might offer a little more academic training.
Now to the point --
I'm just wondering if anyone out there has been through the same situation. (Going to a school where the only person you can go ask for a letter is a IM doc who covers the ER. Okay, maybe its not that bad, but I really think there are MAYBE two ER docs in town.) If so, any advice for getting LOR? Should I just try to rock the rotations I'm on and ask for letters outside of ER, hoping that the rest of my app can make up the difference? Or approach the only two docs in town? Maybe do some away rotations?
I appreciate in advance any responses.
