Hi...I am an IMG...I have a big confusion..I am planning to apply for 2013 match, ie will start the application process next year..I have got an observership in May2012..
I am afraid that if dont have the aamc id in hand by May, then they cannot mention the AAMC ID in the letter.
I am also confused as to whether I should waive my rights to see the LOR..But that would mean that I will have to request them to send it in September 2012.But by then they might have forgotten me..In this context I have following doubts...
1. Do i have to get the ERAS token this year just for the sake of getting AAMC ID so that attending giving the LOR can fill it in when I get the LOR in May 2012?
2. Will it be better if i get the LOR as soon as I finish my observership and send it myself in september or waiver the right to see it and risk the chance of me being forgotten by the attending and not getting a proper letter?
i am very confused..Please someone guide me...
