To,

Academic Program Director,

INSTITUTE NAME
ADDRESS.

It gives me immense pleasure to write in support of Dr. Sweena's application for fellowship
in hand surgery at your esteemed institute. I am convinced that Dr Sweena will make an
immediate positive contribution to your institute. As her teacher I urge you to accept her
application.

Dr.Sweena has been a joy to have in class. She is smart and confident, yet humble. She is
well-liked by her peers. During her junior year, she worked collaboratively with her senior
residents and fellows and was always cited as an able and obedient colleague by them and
was well accepted by the nursing staff. As a responsible student, towards the final term of her
residency she conducted academic lectures and clinical skill transfer sets for her junior
residents. Her energetic nature and positive attitude gives delight to all the people working
around her. She is a conscientious student and shows an excellent fund of knowledge and a
willingness to go beyond the usual role of students, demonstrating a commitment to
continuity in caring for her patients.

Dr.Sweena is modest, but her talents are well known among faculty and students. Her peers
routinely go to her for help with their projects, and she is always happy to help. She has been
envied by her co-residents on several occasions for having met deadlines and volunteering for
presentations and ward rounds. She has wisdom beyond her years, and I expect her to go far,
in the arena of her choosing. As you can see from her CV, Dr.Sweena is involved in several
extracurricular activities, all while maintaining her grades at the institute. She is also actively
involved in maintaining the hospital web site. She has excellent written and verbal
communication skills, is extremely organized, reliable, and computer literate.

She has worked as a resident at ABC Institute from 2004-2006 after which she had to proceed
to Basle University to pursue her higher studies. She was advised to stay back at the institute
and excel in her surgical skills but she was very clear on her interests in hand surgery. Hence
she choose to go ahead and finish her training. Now when she is back at the institute I find
her a more knowledgeable and simplified person but with her same old dream in mind of
become a accomplished hand surgeon. This makes me think that she is indeed very
committed to her goals in life. .

Her diligence, intellect and commitment to her studies are unmatched. Her greatest pleasure
is to challenge herself that refines her day by day. Dr.Sweena is just the type of natural leader
and well-rounded student who would be a welcome addition to any institute. But during the
five years I have known her, she has continually expressed her heartfelt desire to matriculate
at your institution. I truly hope that her dream is realized. If not for this field she feels nothing
worth of her medicine degrees. I have rarely found such determined students in my teaching
career.

In summary, I would strongly recommend her for your fellowship program. Please let me
know if you can benefit from any further insights into Dr.Sweena's experience and character.
I know she will excel at the training program. Please do not hesitate to contact me on
CONTACT NO. My best wishes are always with her.
