If he have an academic position (chairman, PD...) then no problem, otherwise it is better to avoid.

[ArchivalUser]

LOR from MD which is FMG certified by Board is just fine... unless you both share the last name

[ArchivalUser]

sorry whom do u refer to , are u referring to the foreign md practicing in the us(attending or fellow consultants) OR US native MD? thanks

[ArchivalUser]

thanks dr_belgrade, the above qn is for maharesha's comment

[ArchivalUser]

foreign working in us in an academic institution having a position is preffered, otherwise find a native one.

thanks maharesha, actually my former department head is now a consultant in private practice here in us, i have been shadowing 2 hospitalists and 1 private practitioner here in US ,where they all wrote me a LOR. is that worthy of doing from FMG practicing in us, @ maharesha?

If you dont have any other USA option, then it is ok, dont worry, it is still considered US letter.

thanks, i'll try to find one
