To aPD and others, question about joint letters

How are joint letters looked upon for prelim medicine/transitional programs? I've worked with those two attendings back and forth on the same rotation, as they were covering for one another. I think their joint letter will be better than if they were to write them individually. What do you think?

I will also be sending that joint letter to my advanced programs. Do you think they will look unfavorably if it is joint rather than individual? Or can it only help me? Thanks for your help.

Want to know this too. Are joint letters even accepted by ERAS ?

It's totally fine, but no better than a letter written by a single author.

Thanks! I called ECFMG to double check and they too said it is totally ok.
