I graduated from Iraq and many of my professors and specialist doctors I've worked with have left Iraq and worked in other countries. Is it OK to get LORs from them even though they are currently working in different countries and different hospitals, is it OK to print these LORs on the official papers of these new hospitals or it has to be the same hospitals I worked in?
I really need your advice, thank you

Yes, u can get LORs from all of them.They can issue u LORs on their personal letterheads as well.It wud be better if the LORs r isssued to u on the letterhead of the hospital u actually worked in.If this is not possible then u can get yur LORs on the letterheads of the new hospitals,but the LORs shud contain in them the name of the hospital u actually worked in.
Good Luck!
