Hi everyone,
I guess in retrospect I totally should have read this post first: IM Chair Letter
I'm a fresh graduate (IMG) - now I've finally decided to apply in Internal Medicine this year.
I did a rotation in the US and I happened to be rotating with a Division Chief in a specialty different from Internal Medicine as my attending - whom I then asked for a LoR for Internal Medicine.
So when I sent out the letter request, I ended up checking the box for "Department Chair" and he just uploaded the letter. (I actually asked whether it's okay if I put him as DC).
Now - reading more about this subject, I know I handled this completely wrong.
I now know what a "Chair Letter in IM" means, and also that I will not have such a letter.
How can I politely let him know that I messed up the letter request and that he should upload it again (attaching my new letter request without the "DC" checked)?
Thanks a lot for your help!
