Although there are no requirements as to the format or content of the three reference letters we require, we do have some suggestions as to who these references might come from.
- A reference who is familiar with your current academic record and can comment on your academic potential. This would ideally be someone whose course you have taken and can comment on your preparation for the rigors of an intense professional academic program.
- A reference who is familiar with your desire to become a PA and your work ethic. This would ideally be from someone in the healthcare field with whom you have worked with, or worked for, and can comment on your work ethic, passion for healthcare, etc.
- A reference who can speak to your character and why you would excel as a PA. This would ideally be from someone in the community who can comment on your character, your goals, etc. Note, references are not an acceptable from family members.
