Thomas Hayden Recommendation

They serve as pillars of wisdom and guidance while exhibiting communication adroitness with care teams and patients to engineer top-notch medical care. To maintain high standards, effective medical professionals are constantly taking in new information through continuing education, placing providers at the pinnacle of knowledge. Moreover, physicians require affective aptitude as they must convey empathy during patient interactions. All these attributes draw me to seek the personal challenge and resulting responsibilities that are demanded. I desire to become an important contribution to society in a field I am passionate

The medical field is a career path that brings about many options and opportunities of great value. The noble idea of being a doctor tends to cloud the diligent studying and precise training that is actually required for this career. I have wanted to become a doctor since a very young age, and now that the opportunity is here for the taking, I have fully researched what it takes to succeed in this profession and various specialties of the practice. The road to a medical degree is one filled with thousands of notes, years of schooling, and many stressful nights, but the reward is one incomparable to any other. Saving people’s lives on a day-to-day basis has been one of my dreams for as long as I can remember, so the rigorous curriculum

Just as the institution is eager to continue embracing the ever-changing world of healthcare and medicine, I too embody this same distinguishing characteristic. Throughout my undergraduate experiences I have learned in order to be a steward and servant of the medical profession one must exercise teamwork, service, empathy, accountability, and optimism; all of which coincide with the tenets that are declared by the Meharry Medical College, School of Medicine culture. Attending this medical school would be one of the greatest rewards for my motivation and persistence. I know for certain there would be no greater experience than to be a part of the Meharry Medical College

Since my summer term freshman year, I have been periodically shadowing Oscar Habhab, MD and Joseph Keenan, DO in the emergency room. Along with gaining more medical knowledge, I continue to shadow them in order to gain a better understanding of the personality required to become a successful physician.

I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation to give my highest recommendation for Richard Nguyen for the position of a Research Associate at Hennepin County Medical Center. As the leader of our Organization, the Minority Association of Pre-Medical Students (MAPS), I have had the privilege of working with Richard for over a year now. The aim of MAPS is to support the needs of scholars from underrepresented communities and prepare them for challenging careers within medicine. Richard has demonstrated exceptional leadership within the organization, and continues to amaze me with his accomplishments.

It is my pleasure to write this letter for Andrew Mangold. I have known Andrew for two years, working with him as his school counselor. You will not find a better-rounded and mature student then Andrew Mangold. The more time I am able to spend with Andrew, the more I am convinced that he is destined to do something amazing with his life and I cannot wait to see what it is going to be.

I quickly recognized I wanted to practice medicine as part of a team and under supervision. However, I still desired sufficient independence with extensive and in-depth training. With this in mind, I began forming opinions about the various careers in healthcare until I came across the PA profession. By shadowing Araya, a PA, at a clinic, I observed how she provided sensitive and comprehensive care to the patients. She took time to explain to the patients their diagnoses in a warm, personable,and comforting attitude, which were all personality traits that I possess. I was extremely pleased of the lengths the PA went to in order to make the patient feel included and taken care of. Prior to this experience, I knew I wanted to construct strong relationships with my future patients and understand and treat patients as a whole. Not only was this palpable within the care Araya provided to her patients, but I now have the opportunity to build relationships with patients as a healthcare volunteer at Jamati Clinic by listening attentively to their main concerns as well as their outlook on their

This email is in support of my application for the Medical Assistant position at your medical practice in Northwest Atlanta. I am excited to find this opportunity because it closely aligns with my interests and future aspirations of becoming a Physician Assistant. What is being offered is an opportunity that will allow me to hone and polish my interpersonal, communication, and technical skills, but to also develop new skill sets that some health professionals lack. I have a Bachelor’s of Arts in Biology from Agnes Scott College and a Master of Public Health from Morehouse School of Medicine. As a Biology major, my coursework allowed me to understand the study of life and how disturbances in the biological systems can influence one’s health. I loved this form of science but realized that managed care plays a greater role in the healthcare system. Thus, I minored in public health and later obtained a Master of Public Health to not only strengthen my knowledge, research abilities, and writing skills, but to also gain the ability to think critically and make decisions that will optimize the benefits of the patient. Both educational experiences have provided me with a solid foundation to build my medical career. I am a very intelligent young woman with a deep interest in two diverse approaches, which will ultimately help bridge the gap between patients and the community. Ultimately, I want a career that not only interacts at the individual level, but at the population level as

This tremendously improved my confidence and strengthened my beliefs that I too could do exactly do what he was doing one day. In addition, the patients welcomed me into the room with a smile on their face and treated me like I was family. It was such an indescribable feeling. Furthermore, I was amazed at how Dr. Sastry was never exhausted from the hectic workload that has kept him busy for the past few decades. He never once complained about all the work he had to tend to. I inquired how he was so energetic, as I usually feel tired after a long day’s work. He answered saying, “It’s extremely important to be healthy physically and mentally. Keeping a positive outlook and truly enjoying your work will keep you going.” I now know that I should keep my work exciting and fun to sustain in medical field. Overall, my time spent at Dr. Sastry’s office was very wholesome and enriching experience. I feel so privileged to have had this opportunity to grow as a person and will treasure the past few weeks for the rest of my

For my interview of a healthcare professional, I interviewed Todd Reynolds of the imaging department at Virginia Gay Hospital in Vinton, Iowa. Todd has worked at Virginia Gay for about six years and has worked in the healthcare field for almost 44 years. Due to him working in the healthcare profession for so long, I decided to interview him to find out what has made him stay in one career field for so long.

Watson has taught me that ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things. One does not need to be born privileged in order to achieve one’s dreams and ambitions. I both admire and respect Dr. Watson’s ambition, compassion, and perseverance. He wants to help the people around him and has the willpower to turn his otherwise empty words into kind actions that positively impact his community. He cares deeply for his patients, always doing the best he can to ensure he can help them in their recovery.

Thank you again for writing me a letter of recommendation for Dianna L. Priddle Memorial Scholarship. I am very excited to let you know that I received the result of the scholarship. I am granted with $500 award each semester for one year. Again, thank you so much for the effort and time you spent on the letter, I greatly appreciate it...

Dr. Hossam was responsible for taking detailed patient histories and performing physical exams as initial assessment before presenting cases to me. . He did this work with high excellence and efficiency. During the clerkship, I found him to be a knowledgeable, conscientious and professional young man. He consistently delivered quality

TCMC’s mission and values personally resonates with my own ideals important to me in medicine. The focus on patient-centered, community based medicine, and various values are the very principles I hope to learn and demonstrate in my future as a physician. Through my experiences I have come to see the importance of connecting and building a strong trust between a doctor and patient. I shadowed a chiropractor whose philosophy was in treating the person as a whole rather than a list of symptoms to be fixed. Seeing the impact on his patient’s health over treatments, I became intrigued with the benefits of this philosophy. Also, as a medical assistant, I observed Dr. Jaber develop amazing patient-physician relationships, which I believed had a crucial

I have taken stock of myself, considering my skills, experiences, and goals. I have looked to family and friends, some of whom are doctors, for advice. Because of this self-examination, I have decided to pursue a career in health care. The process has been difficult at times but always illuminating. Throughout it all, I have never lost confidence - the confidence that I will actively absorb all available medical knowledge, forge friendships with fellow students, and emerge from my training as a skilful and caring physician.
