    Additional Instructions
    Recommendation Instructions:
    • Postdoctoral MD and DO Fellow and Resident Applicants must provide a reference from the Fellowship Director & Research Mentor/Lab Director, as applicable, certifying that postdoc will have release time to attend classes.

Clinic times must vary from quarter to quarter.

    • Non-Postdoctoral Applicants: At least one, and preferably two, letters should come from individuals with advanced degrees (i.e. Master's or higher).
