Free Sample Letter of Recommendation in Health
To Whom it may Concern:
At the request of Mr. Kipling Mao who is currently applying to your
esteemed university for embarking on a degree program in medical
science, I am very happy to compose this letter of recommendation on his
behalf.
A professor of pediatrics, I have been serving as president of the
Children's Hospital of Chongwen District for the past decade. I made my
initial acquaintance with Mr. Mao in 1993 when he became employed by our
hospital to work as a resident in radiology. He worked as my direct
subordinate.
I would describe Mr. Mao as having a solid academic background in the
field of medical imaging. In 1995, I arranged for him to undertake a
six-month advanced training in Ultrasonics and CT Diagnosis. Later I
recommended him to study clinical medicine at Peking Union Medical
College during 1996 - 1999, which resulted in Mr. Mao's obtaining of the
Bachelor's degree in medical science. Meanwhile, he went on a period of
internship at the Department of Radiology of Peking Union Medical
College, focusing on CT diagnosis. His assiduity and perseverance
finally made him a pediatric radiologist with relatively rich clinical
experience. In 1997, he succeeded in winning the first prize for
radiology at the Technical Skill Contest for All Hospitals of Beijing
Chongwen District. In 1999, he was promoted to become a radiologist in
charge.
Mr. Mao is in possession of some of the best qualities of a doctor. On
the front page of his notebook were written four words: Selflessness,
Benevolence, Diligence and Congeniality, which was a motto by Zhu FuTang,
the late founder of Chinese pediatrics and academician of China Academy
of Sciences. Guided by those principles, Mr. Mao worked diligently,
responsibly, and considerately towards his patients. Sometimes when the
victim of a problematic case has to be referred to the municipal
hospital for a definitive diagnosis, he would take the pains to follow
up the case until the case is accurately determined.
Another distinguishing feature of Mr. Mao is his prominent
organizational capability, his cooperative attitude and his readiness to
make sacrifice. Under his leadership, the young doctors of our hospital
launched a creative project of "Domiciliary Ward" aimed at providing
first-class service to the hospitalized patients. In addition, he often
paid voluntary visits to community centers to offer free medical
check-ups to the local residents. For his unselfish contributions, he
was awarded the honors of Model Doctor of Beijing Chongwen District and
Prominent Youth of Beijing Municipality.
Professionally and ethically, Mr. Mao has proven himself to be a highly
qualified radiologist. But a consensus among the Chinese medical
profession is that, in many aspects, China lags far behind the United
States in the development of medical science. Mr. Mao has talked to me
on a number of occasions that he finds his previous medical training
increasingly inadequate for the growing needs of modern medical science.
Under such circumstance, it is natural that he desires to seek more
advanced studies abroad. I deem it my obligation to offer my assistance
to Mr. Mao in his application efforts. As far as I am concerned, Mr. Mao
has a good command of English language as he has taken many English
training courses over the past few years. His language competence will
help him soon adapt to his new environment and further facilitate him in
his academic pursuits.
Should you make further inquiries concerning Mr. Mao, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Yours Sincerely
Professor of Pediatrics
President of the Children's Hospital of Chongwen District, Beijing |
