The Methodist University PA Program requires three letters of recommendation. Letters should be professional recommendations submitted by professors and/or medical professionals/supervisors. Individuals asked to write letters should review academic credentials to allow for a fair evaluation in addition to an applicant's performance in a health care setting.

The program strongly discourages family physicians/PAs, family or personal friends, and/or relatives writing letters of recommendations. Individuals asked to write letters should be able to thoroughly evaluate and elaborate in detail the following criteria:

• Intellectual Ability
• Written Communication Skills
• Oral Communication Skills
• Emotional Maturity
• Adaptability
• Team Skills
• Dependability
• Conflict Resolution
• Interpersonal Skills
• Awareness of Limitations
• Reaction to Criticism
• Patient Interaction
