Bcemslayer Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 When I applied the letters had to be submitted with the application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what is on the current site: For application to the Doctor of Medicine Program you will submit the contact information for two referees as part of the Secondary Medicine Application. Please only select individuals (ie. coach, co-worker, employer, leader of volunteer organization or club, professor, supervisor, research supervisor, teacher, etc.) who know you in a supervisory or professional capacity and who presently know you well enough to speak to your moral and ethical character. Your referees will be contacted later on in the application cycle to complete their reference letters in the form of a series of standardized questions. Referees absolutely cannot be relatives, family members, friends, close family friends, or personal physicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bcemslayer Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 I think it changed then! Not sure when they’ll be contacted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brockboeser6 Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 think they sent out an email a couple weeks ago that said they'd be sent out in early to mid November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike5534 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Has anyone had their references verified yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorArts Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 One of my references told me that she got the email today to fill out her reference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regretful spoon Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Nothing from my references yet but my verifiers have been contacted, not sure if they do it at different times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theevilsloth Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Same, nothing from references but had a verifier contacted. Apparently, the verifiers are sent quite a detailed application to fill out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevergiveup1 Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 One of my references was contacted yesterday and a few verifiers today. But one of my references is also listed as a verifier for one of my activities and they were sent a request for both in one email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jphogenbach267 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 So do they send reference letters to the referees of all applicants or only those who are being considered for an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atwood-45 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 I don’t think any of my verifiers nor references have been contacted yet. Weird because I assumed they all went out at the same time. (OOP applicant, idk if this makes a difference) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UWCC Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 I had a verifier contacted today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorArts Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hmmm well I also have references who are verifiers. She said that she only had 500 characters so it sounds like this is the verification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Snow Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 My reference/verifier for an activity was contacted - he didn't seem to know if it was for a reference of verifying, will try to clarify when I see him next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theevilsloth Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 One of my references received the form, the other one has not received anything yet. Is this abnormal? For people who had their references contacted, were they both contacted or just one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
