As you near the end of your first rotation, now is the time to line up a strong referee.
Referees will be essential if you are applying for General Practice Training this year or planning to move health services for PGY2 in 2027.
They will also be required when you apply for PGY3 roles next year and having more than one to choose from puts you in a far stronger position.
Referees should be recent, relevant and able to speak confidently about your performance – so do not leave this until after the term finishes.
We have created a short guide to help you choose the right person, approach them professionally and strengthen the quality of your reference.
