Hello!
I just recently started to seriously contemplate applying to med-peds; previously I was thinking solely IM. I am about start 4th year, and my current schedule before ERAS submission consists of one-month blocks of: time off to study for Step 2, MICU, and medicine Sub-I. My schedule after mid-Sept are required electives and a cardiology elective.
Would I need to schedule a peds SubI or more peds electives to round out my application?
It appears that LOR requirements vary widely among programs, but the combination of LOR's that seem to cover most bases are 2 medicine (1 chair/dept letter + 1 attending letter) and 2 peds (1 chair/dept letter +1 attending letter). I will dual-apply to IM as well, but I would like to use the same letters for both applications. Should I have letter-writers be more general, so I could do this, or have letter-writers tweak the LORs to tailor more towards IM or med/peds? Anybody have any advice regarding this?
Thanks! and sorry for the long post
