To Whom It May Concern:
I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Hana Jafar. Ms. Jafar
completed an observership at Children’s National Health System, in the
Division of Cardiology, from June 10, 2015 through June 28, 2015. I was
extremely expressed by her determination, concentration, and willingness to
work hard. She possesses excellent learning abilities, professional work ethic,
and a good team attitude.
During her observership in our clinic, Ms. Jafar was exposed to a diverse array
of patients of different ages, cardiac conditions, and ethnic and cultural
backgrounds. Her ability to build a comfortable and trusting environment for
each and every one of these patients was remarkable. I strongly believe that
she will be an excellent addition to any program of her choosing.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any additional information.
Sincerely,
Charles I. Berul, M.D.
