Hey all. I have some specific questions about letters of rec for the ENT residency application, and I wonder if there are people out there who can give me some answers on these:
1) The ENT department at my school has two separate departmental chair and residency program director. Do I need to get letters of rec from both of them? Or does it suffice to get a letter from the residency director only?
2) I'm also thinking about getting a letter from my school's surgery chair. He's pretty well known nationally, and do you think his letter would offer me any boost even though he's a general surgeon? (Given that I honored my surgery rotation and I know the guy somewhat..)
Thanks in advance for sharing your insight!
