I am applying for Ophthalmology this year, and I have a question regarding the non-ophtho LOR. I honored both surgery and medicine, and could probably get a good letter from one of the attendings. However, I have worked extensively with an Emergency Medicine attending not only on the wards, but also during pre-clinical years, and on several volunteer experiences. He would be able to write an excellent, in-depth LOR that would really highlight my attributes both in and out of medicine. Does it matter that he is EM and not from surgery or medicine? Or should I go with the classic surgery or medicine attending for a LOR? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
