nn1998 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Hi everyone. Any advice on submitting a LOR from a co-worker? Any advice would be appreciated, and thanks in advance! Background: We were co-workers in a clinical setting, but most of our time working together was an administrative role. I am confident that she can write me a strong LOR and highlight my strengths, but we did not do much PCE together. Would schools still like this or would they not pay much regard to it/not accept it because of that reason? I already have 3 LOR (1 from a PA I shadowed, 1 from my research professor, and one from my academic counselor), but I wanted to ask my co-worker for an additional one since I am pretty sure it will be strong.

nytovapa Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I mean I wouldn’t if this co-worker didn’t supervise your work. If you had someone supervise over the both of you, maybe you could ask them to write one for you and give them input from this co-worker Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laybunny Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) I wouldn't recommend that for two reasons - because the job didn't involve a lot of PCE, and because this person did not supervise you. I would try to get a fourth letter from a supervisor in the job you got your PCE hours, if that's a possibility. If not, then a supervisor in your HCE job, as long as they can attest to your work ethic. If you are worried you may have had less of a relationship with a supervisor, you can always email them a small "resume" of your strengths that can help guide them along to what to write and what to mention in the letter. Just a thought. Edited June 5, 2020 by Laybunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
