• Curriculum vitae or résumé summarising education and work experience; healthcare experience is beneficial but not always required.
• Letters of recommendation may be requested, typically from academic instructors or professional supervisors.
• Some applicants may be asked to provide additional documentation such as proof of English language proficiency if applicable.
