recommendation letter
dear sir or madam:
the tianjin institute of hepato-biliary diseases is one of the best scientific institutes in medical research in the city. as professor and head of the institute, with many years of research and surgical experience, i am pleased to recommend mr. parkman song, one of our employees, to pursue a graduate degree at your university.
i came to know mr. song when i treated his father for liver cancer six years ago. during these years, mr. song has made his progress from being a mere teenager to a college student, and then to a medical professional, while maintaining close contact with me all along. at the beginning, i was touched by the bravery and fortitude of this young man when facing a major catastrophe in his life. by necessity, he worked part-time for us as a lab assistant during his college years, and was involved in a number of projects on liver transplantation, the ras, p53 gene mutation in liver cancer, and the testing of p53 gene mutation in liver cancer as well. we also carried out a molecular research on the hepatitis virus related to liver cancer. in the process of all these research projects i found mr. song a highly intelligent research worker. he has solid educational background in biomedicine, and has become thoroughly adapted to the lab environment. this is why when he asked for a position in our institute after completing his college education, we accepted him without hesitation.
at present, he is a member of our research team for a project on the aav and gene therapy for liver cancer. so far mr. song has done important work for the progress of the project. to be more efficient, he in fact often lives in the lab for several days. touched by the dedication of this young colleague, i sometimes urge him to take more rest. mr. song assured me that he is well aware how valuable time is for research. "i‘m trying to learn as much as possible," he said, "while i‘m still young and can learn things fast."
among all the graduate students i have ever had, i can only find a few who are as outstanding as mr. song. i would be happy to have him as my student. but i also strongly support his effort to pursue an advanced degree abroad, which is, i agree, a better choice for his career. i hope that his application will receive your serious attention; indeed, the talent and diligence of this bright young man may bring you many pleasant surprises.
yours sincerely

recommendation letter
to whom it may concern:
at the request of mr. kipling mao who is currently applying to your esteemed university for embarking on a degree program in medical science, i am very happy to compose this letter of recommendation on his behalf.
a professor of pediatrics, i have been serving as president of the children‘s hospital of chongwen district for the past decade. i made my initial acquaintance with mr. mao in 1993 when he became employed by our hospital to work as a resident in radiology. he worked as my direct subordinate.
i would describe mr. mao as having a solid academic background in the field of medical imaging. in 1995, i arranged for him to undertake a six-month advanced training in ultrasonics and ct diagnosis. later i recommended him to study clinical medicine at peking union medical college during 1996 - 1999, which resulted in mr. mao‘s obtaining of the bachelor‘s degree in medical science. meanwhile, he went on a period of internship at the department of radiology of peking union medical college, focusing on ct diagnosis. his assiduity and perseverance finally made him a pediatric radiologist with relatively rich clinical experience. in 1997, he succeeded in winning the first prize for radiology at the technical skill contest for all hospitals of beijing chongwen district. in 1999, he was promoted to become a radiologist in charge.
mr. mao is in possession of some of the best qualities of a doctor. on the front page of his notebook were written four words: selflessness, benevolence, diligence and congeniality, which was a motto by zhu futang, the late founder of chinese pediatrics and academician of china academy of sciences. guided by those principles, mr. mao worked diligently, responsibly, and considerately towards his patients. sometimes when the victim of a problematic case has to be referred to the municipal hospital for a definitive diagnosis, he would take the pains to follow up the case until the case is accurately determined.
another distinguishing feature of mr. mao is his prominent organizational capability, his cooperative attitude and his readiness to make sacrifice. under his leadership, the young doctors of our hospital launched a creative project of "domiciliary ward" aimed at providing first-class service to the hospitalized patients. in addition, he often paid voluntary visits to community centers to offer free medical check-ups to the local residents. for his unselfish contributions, he was awarded the honors of model doctor of beijing chongwen district and prominent youth of beijing municipality.
professionally and ethically, mr. mao has proven himself to be a highly qualified radiologist. but a consensus among the chinese medical profession is that, in many aspects, china lags far behind the united states in the development of medical science. mr. mao has talked to me on a number of occasions that he finds his previous medical training increasingly inadequate for the growing needs of modern medical science. under such circumstance, it is natural that he desires to seek more advanced studies abroad. i deem it my obligation to offer my assistance to mr. mao in his application efforts. as far as i am concerned, mr. mao has a good command of english language as he has taken many english training courses over the past few years. his language competence will help him soon adapt to his new environment and further facilitate him in his academic pursuits.
should you make further inquiries concerning mr. mao, please do not hesitate to contact me.
yours sincerely
