Hi everyone,
I'm a M.D. candidate, and I'm currently deciding which professors I should ask for a LOR for residency apps. I've done lots of research with a P.I. who has a Ph.D., and this professor knows me very well and can speak about my research abilities as well as my personal qualities & work ethic very well.
I'm thinking about asking this person for a research LOR, but I'm not sure how residency committees will view a research letter from a Ph.D. mentor... Any M.D. folks out there who submitted a Ph.D. research LOR and can comment on this?
(I've also done some research with a M.D. professor, but the Ph.D. professor has known me for a very long time and knows my personal qualities a lot better.)
Any information & advice would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
