So i know this will stir some controversy, but i think it's a valid question to ask. If you are applying to academic programs in orthopaedics does it impact the utility of your letter if the attending writing your rec is an MD vs a DO. I already have a few well known spine surgeons supporting my application and my third letter would be from a medicine chairman that knows me pretty well, only catch is he is a DO. Think i am better served finding a 3rd ortho to write for me? This is should not turn into a DO vs MD discussion, but i'd just like some advice
