Swanky Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hey all , thinking about applying for the 2011/2012 year and was wondering about references. I know choosing the right references can make or break you, so if anyone has any advise it would be greatly appreciated. I currently have 1 professor , and 1 physician that I am volenteering with. My final choice is between a colleague(another pharmacist) , or a patient whose medications I currently manage. I am having a hard time deciding, so any input would help alot! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biochem68 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hey, I dont know much but just to give you my opinion, the letter from the patient sounds much better than a letter from your collegue. I say this because the admin might think your collegue can be biased more than anyone else although I'm sure he'll keep it professional. I think the admin would rather want to read a letter that was composed by an impartial party who has nothing to lose by giving you a bad letter... but just my thought!!

Lactic Folly Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Who is a better writer? Assuming both are equally supportive, some people are able to provide better examples to make your strengths come alive in the minds of the reader, as opposed to saying positive but vague things about you.
