Dear Sir or Madam:
As Dean of medical school of University and one who has had the chance to know Mr. Shaodong well, I am happily writing this letter to further support his application for acceptance to the medical elective program at your university.
I came to know this resourceful and energetic young man in when he, leading his team, was preparing for the Clinical Skills Contest in our university. I became his advisor and instructed him in physical examination. During that time, he excelled himself as a learner and leader. Although he hadn’t learned Diagnostics by that time, he managed to master the procedure of physical examination proficiently via his intelligence, determination and diligence. He is a man who is never confined to purely academic studies. Rather, he holds the belief that an extraordinary doctor must have outstanding clinical skills and this became the very reason why he seized the opportunity to improve himself in the contest. In addition, Mr. is always the leader in the heat of action. He is able to call on his colleagues to do what is needed to achieve the goal of the whole team using his com#prehensive understanding of the situation and his power to influence people. In his preparation for the contest, he formulated a detailed plan for the team, introduced efficient strategy and arranged for intensive practice. Subsequently, his team worked in harmony and got really good results.
Mr. also participated in the Scientific Research Design Contest for Undergraduate Students under my direct supervision. He revealed himself as a meticulous and passionate person in designing his subject on diabetic nephropathy. Despite his insufficient lab experience and statistical knowledge that time, he still referred to the library and the internet to boost his capacity in that area, which turned out to be quite a success, because he finally put forward a feasible and highly-valued hypothesis concerning the potential mechanisms of miRNA-146 in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.
Eight months later, in his sixth year of the eight-year-program medical training, Mr. will be interned in our affiliated hospital. I highly recom#mend him for the elective program of HKU. I believe he will be an outstanding student and will positively contribute to this program if accepted. Whenever you want to know more about him, please do not hesitate to contact me.
