Letter To Ms. Younus Case Study

December 10, 2017

To whom it may concern,

I write this letter with strong recommendation of Ms. Talia Younus for medical school. I have known Ms. Younus since May 2017, as she shadowed me at South Florida Oncology and Hematology Consultants during the summer. It has been a pleasure for me to get to know Ms. Younus over this time.

During the time that I had the opportunity of having Ms. Younus as my student, she consistently impressed me by demonstrating a strong desire in becoming a future physician. Her eagerness to learn about the problems patients were experiencing was evident as she came motivated each week and asked insightful questions. Her passion for medicine is apparent as she shows interest and takes time to understand the biology

and reason behind patients’ symptoms. In addition, she was also very kind and professional with everyone during her time with us.

Ms. Younus is a very intelligent young lady whose curiosity and motivation to learn new information makes her a fantastic candidate for medical school. Even in the face of demanding and stressful days at the clinic, seeing several patients one after another, she never fell behind. Ms. Younus was always prepared to shadow whenever there was a new patient to see, a bone marrow biopsy to perform, or a specialty consult to obtain. All the while, she maintained genuine interest and asked questions along the way.

Ms. Younus has expressed that her long term goal in life is to provide health care in rural or underserved communities. I believe that her preparation for this is well beyond accomplished. Her college and graduate level studies will prepare her well for medical school and the challenges it entails. Beyond this, what has really impressed me is her enthusiastic and caring personality and a commitment to working with and serving others, which makes her a superb fit for the medical field. Thus, I would like to strongly suggest Ms. Younus for consideration into your medical program, as she will be a strong asset to medical school and the people she will care for in the future. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (xxx) xxx-xxxx.

Best regards,
