While your friend can do that because of her connection with the hospital I am not certain unless you personally know a resident that you would be allowed their information to write a letter. You could send something to a hospital directed to first or second year resident but unlikely that it could include a person's name.

maifleur...this hospital has a website where they list their doctors by name, so you could always perhaps search for someone that way as typically the doctors at a hospital are public info. But if you ask, you might be surprised by the answer, but you won't know unless you ask. The letter is being sent to the Dr. at the hospital's address so no personal info is being passed.

Annie if no personal info is being passed how would anyone know if the doctor is a resident or not. Perhaps some hospitals put Resident with their names but not here.

maifleur, If you contact the hospital directly, they may be able to help you. But if it doesn't work for you, I'm sorry. It was simply a suggestion.

My DS is finishing up his first year of residency next month. I looked on his hospital’s website and his name is not listed. I assume it’s because he is a resident, not a practicing physician ...yet. He is not in a high Covid area, but the demands are still very high on the residents. Maybe there is a bulletin board?

ratherbeesewing, as you know his name, do a google search and see if a web page for the hospital comes up...that's how I found the page I did which listed the residents.

I googled exactly that (hospital, his name). All that comes up is a public record site that shows he is a resident at X Hospital in his specialty. I also tried going thru the hospital site, but that just gives you information about the residency for applicant purposes. Just to confuse things further, my DS’s girlfriend is at a different hospital and I found that hospital’s residency list with a few key strokes. So, I guess it depends on the hospital.

Yes apparently it does, but I'm sure a call to the staffing supervisor for residents could help.
