Hi, i have a few doubts abt. LOR.pls.help..
1.I did residency in India, and now applying for match this yr.The issue is that the person who was Head of Dept.during my tenure, is no longer at that post now. So if I get a LOR from him, can i adress it as Author/Prog.director/dept. in the cover sheet(i will waive right to see).He was the PD at my time in college??
2. I am working as an observer to a pediatrician and FM practitioner now, and have an opportunity to do a observership in Sept. at a hospital..rest of LOR's are from home country. Should i leave a slot vacant for my Sept.externship LOR, or do i wait to apply in programs after Sept..maybe late oct.Or is that too late?
3. Can i use the FM/Peds LOR to apply for IM residency? i mean, won't it look bad as the cover letter will say Peds, and i am applying for IM?
