    • At least one reference must be from a clinical preceptor or a faculty member at a College of Pharmacy, and one from an employer, preferably a pharmacist.
    • Review the form with your recommender to highlight your strengths and areas of improvement before they agree to write on your behalf.
  • Current curriculum vitae - include all APPE and PGY1 rotation experiences with specific details related to the rotation name, site, preceptor, and dates (including ones scheduled for the future).
  • Professional school academic transcripts. Ask your school for transcript submission to PhORCAS early enough to meet deadlines, noting that many school offices are closed during the holiday period.
