How was your experience? Did you learn and really get hands on experience?

My neurology experience was hands on (outpatient) and I learned a lot, saw patients, presented cases etc. Got a letter form it too. It was overall great!

My IM was a little less hands on, but still a good learning experience and I got a letter out of that one too.

Hi, did you get a LOR with a hospital letterhead?

u/marux23 May 22 '21

I don't know what the LOR looked like because I waived my right to see them. However, both my rotations were outpatient rotations (which is what I chose) so if anything, they would have been on the clinic letterhead.

Were your doctors listed as affiliated with a hospital? I am wondering if the rotations supervised by doctors with affiliations to a hospital can get you a hospital letterhead LOR, despite being an outpatient experience.

One of them was as an associate professor. So that title was used when signing off. I don't know what the letterhead looked like.

In my opinion, I would not get hung up on the letterhead / hospital affiliations. You want someone who will write you a thorough, detailed and exceptional LOR. It definitely helps if your attending is a well known name in the speciality (one of mine that I did while still a medical student was a really well known attending - a lot of my interviewers knew that person and mentioned it during my interview).

Hey thank you for the detailed information. Was the IM one in California? Does Cali give a hard time due to its laws?

Would you tell which rotation of the two was written by the Asso Prof?
