And about contacting...do u usually use the professional address...like it would make sense to use the hospital address where u volunteered, and not the home address of a referee? That's what i've done so far. Any suggestions? :)

 

thanks

Using the referee's professional address is quite fine. The med schools rarely contact referees from what I have heard, however, if you have a particularly 'good' or 'bad' reference or one that seems unbelievable (ie from George W Bush), they may attempt to contact the person to clarify any questions they have.

In the odd chance they 'might' contact your reference you need to think about whether it's worth the risk. As well, the adress you use doesn't matter, you should consider what's more convienent for your reference.
