Local note (CA)

Canada — reference letters (especially for immigration or jobs) favor specific, verifiable examples and the writer’s contact details. Some provinces expect references to be reachable for follow-up.

Writing tips

Keep patient details de-identified. Focus on clinical skill, teamwork, and bedside manner you observed directly.
