To all,
I am an US-DO graduate.
I graduated from a community residency program 5 years ago, no research just 3 cardio poster presentations at regional conferences.
Back then I planned to apply to cardio so I obtained several "strong, personal" LORs from atrending included from 2 cardiologists who I rotated with. However, with unexpexted family issues, the plan postponed, didn't apply, went straight to work as hospitalist.
Then, I got accepted to CCM fellowship in a year ago, currently a 2nd year fellow. While I enjoy critical care, I still miss cardio. I have worked my butt off to boost my CV - got 13 articles (lots of them in cardio), 8 got published, 5 pending. Got 5 poster presentations and 4 oral presentations at grand rounds.
I also got 4 strong letters from CCM PD and attendings since they fully supported me for cardio
So I wonder what is my chance for cardio? And can I use the old letters from 2 cardiologists in addition to current letters from CCM? since I was told applicants should have letter from the fellowship they intend to apply to? Or just submit the currents one?
Any input is greatly appreciated
