question about LORs

I am a soon to be fourth year having trouble deciding between fields, one of which is OB. I've noticed that quite a few programs require two LORs from OBGYNs. Basically, the way my fourth year schedule is set up, I will probably only have time to get one letter from an OB, and another from most likely radiology. How strict are programs regarding who writes your letters? Is it serious enough that it could cost you an interview? Thanks!

usually one of the LOR's required can be a chairman's letter. you don't have to rotate with the chair to get a LOR from the chair.
