Hi! For my second application cycle I actually have some good options for letters of recommendation. I already have one doctor writing a letter which means I need 4 more letters. I’m asking for opinions because I don’t know how important it is to have a letter from a doctor, PA, etc. thanks in advance!
Dr. D or Dr. F- these are the docs that oversee the clinic I work in, but I don’t work with them closely. They know who I am but not sure how well they can speak to my personality/work ethic/intelligence.
NP P- NP that oversees clinic I work in, I work with her closely every day and she has written me a previous letter of rec for another program. She knows me well enough to write a more personalized letter than the docs in #1.
Supervisor- for club/volunteer group I was in back in college 2022-2024. She wrote a letter of rec for last years CASPA but we really don’t talk anymore. Not sure how important it is to have a supervisor letter of rec.
Dr. H- owner of previous PCE job. Don’t know him well, he doesn’t know me super well, and I don’t like him. He would count as a supervisor though and has offered to write me a letter.
Dr. S- medical director of previous PCE job. Worked with her closely for over a year and knows me well.
PA K- PA colleague at previous PCE job. Worked with her closely for over a year and we are friends outside of work. She wrote me a letter for last years CASPA cycle.
I worked at my previous PCE job for 1.5 years and have worked at my current job for 8 months.
