sarakj Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I have a question regarding the letters of recommendation. I have worked with a family doctor in the community who is a faculty member as well. Since I have worked with him 101 for 6 wks, he knows me pretty well and can write a very strong letter for me.. I was wondering whether his letter would be valuable for the Radiology program or they prefer to see one from surgeons or internists, beside the radiologist of course . Thank you so much Sara Kj Meds2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best radiology references were from a psychiatrist and an obs/gyne. Obviously a strong rads references is better, but a strong reference, regardless of who writes it, is better than a mediocre radiology reference.

sarakj Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 thank you so much 0nsp for the info... I was wondering whether any one else has any more suggestion. Thanks Sara Kj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Agree with 0nsp. You should have one radiology reference if possible, but I think it is most important that your letters be strong (detailed + positive). Manitoba was the only school that I remember stated a preference for letters from medicine or surgery, but if the family physician you've worked with can attest to your work ethic, it shouldn't matter.. My referees were a radiologist, internist, and family physician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
