Can references be sent to us as applicants and included with our APPIC application or should we request that the recommenders send them directly to the sites to which we are applying?
A. Different sites may have different requirements as to how they want the reference letters to arrive (whether with the AAPI or sent directly from the recommenders.) If a site does not specify a method then it is up to you. Q. The director of clinical training in our program writes all applicants a letter of recommendation. But since his letter tends to be an overview of all that we have done, most of us request 3 additional letters from people who might be more intimately involved with our training (i.e. our advisor, another faculty member with whom we have conducted research or clinical work, and a clinical supervisor.) In this case, it would be a little scary to only have 3 of the letters read, since they are meant to function together to give an overall impression of us as applicants. I am wondering if it is common practice at other internship sites to read only 3 letters (particularly those sites that are more research focused), or if the letter from the DCT is considered in a se
