Can the recommendation be submitted by a previous employer or high school teacher?
If a recommendation cannot be submitted by a prehealth advisor or college professor within your major, the National Program Office will accept one from an employer that is within a health professions field or from a science/math high school teacher.
Can a recommendation be written for me by a teaching assistant?
The National Program Office will accept a recommendation from your teaching assistant if they are acting as your instructor.
How can a prehealth advisor assist me?
A prehealth advisor can help you identify course requirements, help you seek enrichment programs and clinical experiences, prepare for application to a health professions school, write letters of recommendation, and assess the most appropriate career path for you. If you are unable to identify a pre-health advisor at your institution, contact the National Association of Advisors for the Health Professions.
