Hi everyone, would really appreciate some help please. I am US IMG with good Step scores (240s) who matched IM. I had to resign due to health reasons after about 6 months of residency. The program was very malignant and I don’t think my PD will write me a good LOR , but I might be able to just ask for a letter to show that I was in good standing I was a very good intern didn’t fail anything and scored very well on the in training exam. Is a letter from my PD absolutely necessary or can I just get some sort of certificate or paper to show what rotations I’ve done and that I was in good standing and wasn’t terminated? I want to apply for FM residency programs as after 6 months in IM and observing the FM program I truly realized I belong to FM vs IM. I will try to get some letters from attendings (maybe 1 or 2 max) can that take the place of the PD letter?
Also is funding an issue here? Will I get credit for the 6 months I did? Or did I lose a whole year of funding and would a program need to pay out of pocket for me to repeat pgy1 in FM?
Thank you so much for your help. I’m hoping someone could help. Anyone been in this situation and re applied and matched IM to FM without a PD letter? Also what happened in terms of funding?
Thank you again
