Hey Everyone,
So i'm a US-IMG and I'm in the process of scheduling electives and already have scheduled an elective in Family Medicine from which I hopefully can receive a solid LOR prior to applying to the match next year. I was wondering since it's recommended that we have 2 family med letters - can the second letter be from a observership? Reason being there's not enough time for me to schedule a 2nd Family Medicine elective before the application is due Sept 15th and the 2-week observership I would be doing would be in NJ - where Caribbean med students cannot complete rotations per state regulations.
Curious on any feedback and thoughts and greatly appreciate the advice!
