Ok so I just had a talk with a PD at a recent conference, the question came up whether to submit a letter of reccomendation that I got in the beginning of my 3rd year (im a 4th yr now). He said that letters older than a few months ago need to be re -updated with new dates and re sent to eras? I dont get it whats the big deal nothing has changed. What do you guys think should i bother the doc again for the new letter?
Another point i want to ask is that one of my letter writers actually wrote that i am "weighing the advantages of peds vs. famly medicine". And the PD said that this can be a red flag, because now that im deciding on familiy med. This can be reasons that i may not be committed to the specialty.. Any thoughts whethter to submit the letter or ask the doc to omit this sentence. This letter was from a while back too. Thanks
