Internship Letter of Recommendation Sample

Dear Dr. Howard,

I am strongly recommending Memorial Hospital accept Dr. Stephen Johnson as part of your residency program. I had the distinct pleasure of supervising Dr. Johnson for the past two years as he completed his medical internship after graduating with honors from John Hopkins Medical School. He is a highly skilled professional who has been able to apply the theoretical knowledge he learned to clinical practice.

From the beginning, Dr. Johnson impressed me with his bedside manner as well as his exceptional ability to correctly diagnose neurological diseases while working as a new neurologist. He often worked ninety-plus hours each week, never complaining and always being ready for any task. He makes a terrific addition to any hospital.

Dr. Johnson has innate medical talent and a clear understanding of pathology. He works well with other doctors and medical professionals. The staff value his input and listen to what he has to offer.

I couldn’t give a stronger recommendation for another intern’s application to a residency program. I wish we could keep him on staff but he wishes to relocate to the East Coast. It is an honor to be able to provide my recommendation for such a fine young doctor.

Sincerely,

Melvin Long, M.D.
