hi guys, what do you think it's better for an IMG i have 1) LOR by the principal investigator of a US hospital of a research program during the summer (USLOR, but in research, not clinical) and 2) LOR from my home country of 1 year of clinical experience (PGY1) by an attending physician. if i had to choose only one of these 2, what would be better???

I will go with what BBB suggested. The program likes to know about your clinical skills and reliability
