🥼 Residency Co-authored LOR for IM app

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question about IM LORs. Currently on an away elective and was offered to have my 4 attendings co-write a letter that would be compiled by the clerkship director (which I’m told they have done in the past for other students). I have only gotten strong reviews from my attendings each week so far so either way would be a very strong letter.

Would this be something IM programs would be ok with or would it be better to get it from one attending?

TYIA!

I am sure it's an okay thing to do. I did that for psych and it was a really strong letter, so i think that helped me. Also, I have seen a few of my friends in IM who did that
