1 CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, LOS ANGELES College of Natural and Social Sciences Health Careers Advisement Office (HCAO) Handbook for Health Professional School Applicants BIOS 174 and 170 For appointments call: (323) or (323) or Web site: Facebook:
2 Health Careers Advisement Office (HCAO) Robert M. Nissen, Ph.D. Director BIOS Alex Martinez, M.A. Elba Muñoz, M.A. Program Coordinator Health Professions Advisor BIOS 170 BIOS 174 (323) (323) The primary goal of the HCAO is to provide support services and information for pre-health professional students before, during, and after they apply to health professional schools. The HCAO serves pre-health professional students who are interested in the following professions: medicine (allopathic, osteopathic and chiropractic), optometry, veterinary medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, podiatry, and physician assistant. The HCAO gives students the opportunity to open a confidential recommendation letter file in their freshman year (or later) and to continue to update it until they are ready to apply to a professional school at the end of their junior year. At the HCAO, students find faculty support, advisement, and services they need to achieve their professional goals. HCAO services include: HCAO quarterly orientation One-on-one pre-health advisement HCAO website and Facebook page with links to and about post-baccalaureate programs, summer enrichment programs, volunteer and research programs, conferences and health professional schools Personal and confidential letter of recommendation file Letter of recommendation mailing service Committee letter service (for eligible students) from the Health Careers Evaluation Committee Standardized test preparation assistance (review sessions in biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and verbal and written communication skills) Workshops and Seminars Personal Statement assistance Videotaped mock interview
3 To open an HCAO file, you must: Be currently enrolled at CSULA* Complete the HCAO Enrollment form Attend the HCAO orientation session Attend an Advisement session with the Health Professions Advisor * HCAO services are also available for alumni for two years after last attendance. To request a Committee Letter from the Health Careers Evaluation Committee (HCEC), you must submit the following: HCAO Enrollment Form Letter of Recommendation Checklist Curriculum Vitae or Resume * Word copy of Personal Statement Minimum 3 letters of recommendation** Copies of unofficial transcripts for all college coursework Copy of Health Professional School Application (AMCAS, AACOMAS, AADSAS, PHARCAS, etc.) Copy of national exam scores (MCAT, DAT, PCAT, DAT, etc.) *The resume/cv should include the following information: employment, health care activities, other (not health care) activities, research (publications, poster/paper presentations), honors and awards, hobbies/leisure activities, unusual circumstances (health or family) that impaired your academic performance ** Students may not deliver recommendation letters to the HCAO under any circumstances; they will not be accepted. Recommendation letters must be mailed directly from the individual s institution or work place, written on official letterhead, signed and be mailed through the U.S. mail or hand delivered to the HCAO. The required Buckley waiver form must be included with all letters. Letters without Buckley waiver forms will be returned to the letter writers. Health Careers Evaluation Committee (HCEC) The (HCEC) is composed of current CSULA faculty who will evaluate an applicant s complete application package and potentially write a committee letter endorsing their application to health professions schools. In order to be evaluated, an applicant s file must be complete as specified above. The committee letter summarizes all of the information in your file, including details about your personal history, academic performance, extracurricular activities such as volunteer and research experiences, and a summary of comments from recommendation letters. The HCEC meets during the first week of each month during the spring, summer and fall quarters. To be considered by the committee, you should have all requested materials in your file at the HCAO and the Health Professions Advisor at healthcareers@calstatela.edu with subject heading Committee Letter Request, asking to have your file reviewed by the HCEC by the end of the preceding month. Please allow two weeks for us to evaluate your application package and write your letter if we decide to endorse your application. Consider your deadlines when you plan on a timeline to complete your file. We cannot write a letter until your file is complete. Requesting Letters of Recommendation: Carefully select individuals from whom to request letters of recommendation. They should be familiar with your academic record and you personally (i.e., able to write about your academic capability, lab skills, maturity, social characteristics, leadership potential, ability to cope with stress, initiative, etc. all of which are of interest to an admissions committee. You must have at least three recommendation letters to complete your file. Your file may contain a maximum of eight letters. Once your committee letter you may not add any more letters to your file that application cycle. Your file should include at least two letters of recommendation from science faculty members (e.g. biology,
4 chemistry, physics, math). Other letters to include would be those from individuals who supervised you in a research or volunteer position(s), non-science academic coursework, or an employer. Request your letters during your junior year. Do not wait until the last minute to ask for letters of recommendation. You risk that instructors will not remember you from an earlier course, or that the letter will not be written in time. If you receive a good grade in a course and have made every effort such that the professor should know you reasonably well, ask them if they can write you a good letter of recommendation and then keep in touch with them. During your junior year request that the letter be sent to the HCAO before the end of the academic year. Give each letter writer the following items: A. Signed Buckley Amendment Waiver Form. You have the right to read any recommendation letter written on your behalf or to waive that right. The Buckley form contains places for you to indicate your choice; you may sign either place but not both. Many health professional school admissions personnel believe that waiving your viewing privileges results in a more candid and thus more credible letter. We send copies of your Buckley waiver forms to schools that request them. The HCAO will never release any letters to you regardless of whether you reserved your right to see the letter. B. Letter of Recommendation Format. This is a guide for individuals unfamiliar with the process and has the mailing address of where letters of recommendation should be sent to. NOTE: No one is required to write you a letter of recommendation. Therefore, ask politely and give the individuals plenty of time so you do not have to rush (irritate) them. It will be helpful to also provide them with your personal statement and curriculum vitae or résumé. The mailing service process: Programs with a centralized letter of recommendation collection system For health profession programs that have a centralized letter of recommendation collection system such as AMCAS and AADSAS, letters are uploaded directly to these systems. Applicants have the option to select from the following types of letters: Individual letter letters written by individuals Letter packet a packet of individual letters of recommendation Committee letter comprehensive letter written by the HCEC If you select the letter packet option, all your letters in that packet will be sent to the schools that request your letters of recommendation. Only applicants who have been endorsed by the HCEC may select the committee letter option. Regardless of the type of letter you select, you must bring in the letter request form that each application system provides for applicants. The Advisor will then upload a PDF of your letter. Programs which do not have a centralized letter of recommendation collection system For health profession programs that do not have a centralized letter of recommendation collection system i.e., AACOMAS, letters will be sent via U.S. mail. The envelopes and postage are provided by the HCAO. Applicants using this process must fill out their own envelopes with the appropriate address and leave them at the HCAO. The applicant should also indicate which letters to include in the envelopes. If you would like to check the list of schools to which we have mailed your packet, the HCAO keeps an Applicant Mailing Log in all students files. The HCAO may not ever release letters of recommendation to a student. If you have not attended CSULA for more than two years and no longer wish to have us retain your file, you have two options for obtaining your letters: 1. We can mail the letters back to the authors, who then can determine whether to give them to you.
5 2. We can mail the letters to your new school, program of study, or pre-health professions service office. To select this option, the HCAO must receive a written request directly from the school. Note: All files older than two years may be destroyed.

8 COLLLEGE OF NATURAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Health Careers Advisement Office (HCAO) Buckley Amendment Waiver Form In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, commonly known as the Buckley Amendment, we require that all applicants sign this form and present it to each person from whom they request a letter of evaluation. The letter of evaluation must be submitted with this signed form attached or it will be returned to the author. To the Evaluator: As a service to our students, the Health Careers Evaluation Committee (HCEC), composed of University faculty, may review an applicant file to compose a composite letter of support for the applicant. Your original letter would accompany this cover letter. Please check the box below if you do not want HCEC to use or reference your letter in this process. Feel free to call the HCAO at if you have any additional questions. Name of Evaluator: I do not want HCEC to use my letter To Applicant: Indicate whether you will waive or reserve your right to inspect your letter. Fill out one section, not both. The undersigned hereby waives any right to inspect the evaluation submitted by the person whose name appears above. First and last name Date (month, day, year) Applicant signature The undersigned hereby reserves the right to inspect the evaluation submitted by the person whose name is listed above. First and last name Date (month, day, year) Applicant signature NOTES: Letters of recommendation will not be accepted without a signed Buckley waiver form. Letters of recommendation will not be accepted unless the applicant selects and signs one of the options shown above.
9 COLLLEGE OF NATURAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Health Careers Advisement Office (HCAO) To: Evaluators of CSULA Health Professional School Applicants From: CSULA Health Careers Advisement Office (HCAO) Subject: Letter of Recommendation Format The HCAO provides a mailing service for letters of recommendation for currently-enrolled students. This service is also extended to recent CSULA graduates for up to two years after their graduation date. Recommendation letters are photocopied and mailed to health professional schools. Each recommendation letter submitted to the HCAO must be accompanied by the Buckley Amendment Waiver form signed by the student who requested the letter. Recommendation letters that are received without the required Buckley form are returned to the sender. Students should present a signed form to each person from whom they request a recommendation at the time they make their request. Individuals who feel they cannot write a positive recommendation letter for a particular student can refuse the request. We ask that individuals who are submitting recommendation letters to the HCAO for distribution to health professional schools through our mailing service follow the suggestions listed below: Use official letterhead. Sign the letter. Date the letter and address it to the Admissions Committee for the type of program to which the student is applying. Example: Medical School Admissions Committee or Dental School Admissions Committee. Please note that it is not necessary to leave any space between the date and the salutation because the letter will not be modified in any way. Avoid form letter styles. The most valuable letter is one that reflects some familiarity with the student and contains pertinent observations about the candidate s abilities and performance. Useful information includes comments about academic performance relative to past and present peers, laboratory skills, nonacademic skills, maturity, social characteristics, leadership potential, ability to cope with stress, imagination, initiative, enthusiasm, sincerity, compassion, etc. The professional schools will have a complete record of all applicants grades, so please do not simply repeat what is evident from an applicant s record. Rather, your comments should amplify this information. Health professions schools request letters after applicants have passed preliminary screens that involve GPA and standardized test (e.g. MCAT, DAT, etc) considerations. All letters must be sent by mail or walked in personally by the letter writer. To ensure confidentiality, handdelivered letters from students are not accepted. Mail or walk over your recommendation letter, with the required Buckley form to: Health Careers Advisement Office California State University, Los Angeles c/o Health Professions Advisor 5151 State University Drive Los Angeles, CA State University Drive, Los Angeles, CA (323) Fax: The California State University: Bakersfield, Channel Islands, Chico, Dominguez Hills, Fresno, Fullerton, Hayward, Humboldt, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Maritime Academy, Monterey Bay, Northridge, Pomona, Sacramento, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Francisco, San José, San Luis Obispo, San Marcos, Sonoma, Stanislaus
