International medical graduates (IMGs) seeking residency positions in the U.S. recognize the importance of securing strong letters of recommendation from rotations completed in the U.S.
Unfortunately, many letters written by preceptors or attending physicians following observership experiences are suboptimal. These letters are often short, and lacking in the specifics and details residency programs seek.
