It is a pleasure to write a letter in support of Ms. Pickett’s application to medical school. I have known Ms. Sharonda Pickett since she joined Langston University in August 2008. She knew that she wanted to be a physician from the outset. However, she continued to shadow many medical professionals while working at the Blood Institute and this has only determination ShaRonda was a student in two of the classes I teach in the Biology department at Langston University. I got to know her really well on road trips to and from scientific meetings and from interactions while she was doing her research in a colleague’s laboratory. Ms. Pickett was one of our very best students. She took her course work seriously and performed consistently well.
Dr. Winner received her undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree from Stanford University in 2001, and then took an astounding three year break before even beginning medical school. Interestingly, she decided to enter onto the pre med track later in college and so she applied later as well, which accounted for one year of her break. However, being from Alaska, one of her desires was to go to the University of Washington in Seattle, as it was considered a state medical school because Alaska did not have one. She applied there, but was rejected. Columbia University, however, did accept her, but she did not want to go there, as she viewed it as being “halfway across the country from her.” So she asked to defer her enrollment and surprisingly, they allowed it. So, in that year
I, Dr. Eric McDonald, MD am truly enthused about recommending Dhoha Alhashim for admission into medical school. It gives me immense pleasure, indeed, to suggest one of our emergency department's marvelous medical scribes, Ms. Alhashim, into your incoming class. I have known Dhoha Alhashim for the past six months in her capacity as a medical scribe. As a medical scribe, Ms. Alhashim had the opportunity to work side by side with some of the department's successful providers; her duties included documenting medical history, physical exam, procedures performed by providers, and transcribed lab and radiology test results on patients' charts. I, personally, had the opportunity to work with this intelligent young lady and observed the transformation of this incredible medical scribe over the past six months. Ms. Alhashim has been exposed to patients with a variety of symptoms and witnessed difficult patient encounters and critical cases, observing the proper ways to manage such situations. Ms. Alhashim has also become acquainted with our department's medical equipments. We have certainly been very pleased with the work performed by Dhoha Alhashim. Her intelligence, enthusiasm and curiosity for learning have enabled her to
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 recommend Ms. Cristin Antimisiaris for your residency program. I have been a clinician for years and have been an educator at Sacred Heart University for three years. In my time here at Sacred Heart, I was able to educate Ms. Antimisiaris during her first two years in the program. Throughout Ms. Antimisiaris’ educational experience, she has demonstrated excellent knowledge, clinical reasoning, patient care, and clinical skills as evidenced through her performance both in class and on exams, as well as in hands on and interactive lab activities. Ms. Antimisiaris put great effort into all assignments and class activities, thoroughly researching her topics, providing evidence-based interventional techniques, and asking for guidance or clarification from professors when a topic was unclear. Ms.
It is my pleasure to nominate Rodnesha Minor for North Carolina A & T State University’s Student Teacher of the Year. Ms. Minor exemplifies the tenets of the North Carolina Teaching Standards. I have watched Ms. Minor develop into an accomplished preservice teacher during her time at Summerfield Elementary.
Academically, Ms. Wilson has stood out as a student that values her education. Her hard work and dedication to assist others in need
I am interested in Emory’s School of Medicine MD program mainly impart to their commitment to train physicians to serve the community. I believe community involvement as a physician is key to diminish health inequalities where they initially develop. In addition, Emory’s emphasis towards understanding the biopsychosocial conditions of each patient will be vital in honing in on an accurate diagnosis and tailoring my approach as a physician to accommodate these factors while meeting their needs.
It is an honor to construct this letter of recommendation on behalf of Eugenia Korkor Asare. As a practicing primary care physician for many years, I have come to recognize the personal characteristics required for success as both a medical student and healthcare professional. I do believe that Ms. Asare possesses such necessary qualities that would not only create her into an excellent medical student, but future physician as well. From my direct observation of her as student observer in my practice during the last two summers, I can attest that Ms. Asare has the natural characteristics of inquisitiveness towards the study of medicine and the human body, adaptability in social environments as well as the capacity of overall improvement in her abilities.
Shirley did very well on both her unit exam about energy and the electromagnetic technology poster project. Her effort in preparing for the exam was much better than for previous exams and the results were much better as well. The poster she made also had excellent information and good visuals. An area Shirley can look to improve on in science is writing lab reports about her experiments. Her lab reports often left out important areas of the evaluation or didn’t include enough detail. Shirley’s positive attitude and creativity were much appreciated this year and I wish her well in 8th grade next year.
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
She was unapologetic about treating her students, especially her honors ones, like adults. She was strict about plagiarism and demanded our full efforts. Within our social studies curriculum, she found ways to infuse valuable life lessons and talk
I have cultivated many skills throughout my undergraduate education that I believe will help me succeed throughout medical school. My decision to become a doctor did not happen overnight but was a passion that grew with me and inspired my entire life. I am eager to start my journey at Morehouse College of medicine and become a physician that provides quality treatment and works on improving health care in rural areas and underserved communities in Georgia and across the United
Moreover, the mission of Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine, of improving the health of the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico is a vision that I share. Growing up in this region has allowed me to see the value of having individuals from the community serve as physicians. Furthermore, this will help close the primary care gaps in the underserved rural and Hispanic communities. I believe that the post-baccalaureate program of Foundations of Biomedical Sciences will give me the opportunity to demonstrate my capability of succeeding in a rigorous academic program such as Burrell College of Osteopathic
For a split second I caught myself reconsidering my future that I have thought for so long I had all figured out. As the President of the Ole Miss chapter of AMSA began the meeting, I found myself starting to relax a little. I listened to all the things that most medical school reviewers look for on a transcript and application, and all the things she talked about were offered through this organization or were made much simpler with the aid that it provides. The speaker went on to say that AMSA was not simply a “medical school prep”, but it was heavily involved in community service. Following the speech by the President, Dr. Gray got on stage to tell us about his experience as a member of the review board at the University of Arkansas Medical School, and he shared some of the things that he, as a reviewer, found as positives and negatives in an application. When the meeting was coming to an end, we were encouraged to join the national chapter of AMSA as well as the Ole Miss
I am writing this letter of recommendation on behalf of Ms. Raina Wright. Raina is my god –daughter and I have known her since her birth. Her father and I were classmates in Podiatry school, his widow and I remain good friends to this day. It is because of the time I have spent watching her grow into the young woman that she is, that I can vouch for her upstanding character.
