yes you can use them, many people i know matched in 2010 with 4 + years lors.hi applicantGuide i am a 2009 graduate i got my lor's last year is it ok if i use it for this match...i preferred to take tht time as they saw me working under their supervision and n they didnt hav to think much for what to write......i am still in touch with them though.......
Would an LOR by a US MD be equivalent to US clinical experience also? I ask because most IMGs get into clerkships/observerships/externships to get an LOR by a US MD. is this true?The best combination you use is 2 US LORs and 2 from your home country physicians who supervised you during your clinical training.
US LORs are important to give the PD a sort of security that you are familial with the American system, but they can never substitute those from your original supervisors who know the reality about your clinical skills, manners, personality...
This is exactly what happened with me and then I was told that nobody will buy that elective unless I get the LoR and so I had to contact the people and beg them to write the LoR and they had difficulty remembering me.Would an LOR by a US MD be equivalent to US clinical experience also?

I have an elective clinical clerkship in UCLA last 2007 but unfortunately have not been able to ask for LORs from my mentors there. would this experience lose credit? Thank you.
Thank you! but were you able to get an LoR with the begging? I understand, that an LoR is a HUGE favor. how did you coax them into writing you one?This is exactly what happened with me and then I was told that nobody will buy that elective unless I get the LoR and so I had to contact the people and beg them to write the LoR and they had difficulty remembering me.
Yes, you have to get the LoR otherwise the elective won't be useful![]()
Yes they gave me the LoR but it was difficult only because I requested at a later time. If you ask for it while you are still there, it shouldn't be that difficult and no need of hoaxingThank you! but were you able to get an LoR with the begging?

There's no difference, everything that applies to US LoRs is applied to your non-US (home country) LoR.I am going to get LoRS from my country ... NOW my Questions are the following:
1- Are there any certain instructions for NONE USA LoRS?
2- Are "waive or not to waive" cover sheet and these papers applying to NONE USA LoRS?
3- DO U have a FORMAT for NONE USA LoRS?
thnx a lot ..
