It depends. Experience certificates from hospitals are not always mandatory for master's applications abroad, but they are highly recommended, especially for medical science fields.

- Some countries or universities may require official proof of clinical experience.
- For Canada, documents like medical degrees, transcripts, and licenses are typically required for source verification. Letters of employment or work experience are not always eligible for this process.

Having experience certificates can strengthen your application and help verify your clinical background. If you need help gathering the right documents, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
