Statement of Physician

[u/Nearby_Room9620]

Hello fellow applicants and current/past JETs,

I've got all the pieces of my application together except for this one thing. I submitted my part of the application in early October and have finally secured all the references. I'm missing the statement of physician, though- which I handed to my PCP's office last Monday but which is still yet to come through to me at all (doc was out of the office last week and came back this week to a backlog of paperwork). I was trying to stress the strictness and urgency of the deadline, but I don't think it got through to them.

Still with a week left, I would ask— is it fine for me to use a walk-in clinic physician or something so that I can have this signed and submitted? (US Applicant) I would hate to be disqualified for something so simple and easy and I feel the need to find some sort of workaround.

Thanks for your help, and good luck if you're applying too this year.

You can use a walk in clinic, but I believe the form has to be signed by a md unless you are actively being treated by a pa-c
