To Whom It May Concern,

I am happy to write this letter recommending the application of Dr. ____ ____ for admission to the Advanced Training Program for International Dentists in your prestigious institution. In the capacity of the college Dean and Head of the Department of OMFS (Oral Maxillofacial Surgery), I interacted with and guided Dr. ____ throughout the course of her education in dentistry. ____ ____ was exceptionally good in academics, and I have celebrated her success as a highly self-driven achiever. Her clinical skills, especially her keen interest in and grasp of the subject are among her top gifts.

I distinctly remember Dr. ____ as actively participating in classroom discussions, seminars, community dental services, and rural camps. ____ stands out in my mind most of all because she is one of only a handful of students in the history of our institution who took it upon herself to organize her own dental camp, rather than affiliating with an existing organization. I admired her agility in management and her public relations skills which made this endeavor a remarkable success.
____ was also a regular contributor of articles to our college journals and we saw her as one of the best students of the year in 2000, with her marks among the highest in physiology and dental anatomy. ____ is also gifted with interpersonal skills that are appreciated and enjoyed by colleagues, faculty members, and patients alike. This served her well in her interaction with patients of all age groups and different strata of society. She was at her absolute best when working in community organizations. I heard great comments from her community dentistry professors that she is good at organizing rural community camps independently, demonstrating her leadership skills in everything ranging from material dissemination to setting up the events.

During her posting in the department of Oral Surgery, I guided her through the entire range of procedures -from the basic to the complex -, and I felt inspired by her deep passion for dentistry and her ability to learn and connect concepts to solve problems with ease. She is outstanding in engaging with and putting anxious patients at ease and can educate and motivate even the most challenging. I trusted her abilities and readily assigned her cases of impactions, valvuloplasty, suturing, etc., in addition to regular surgical procedures, which she always performed in the most skillful and caring manner.
I found Dr. ____ ____ to be of great assistance even when carrying out complex surgical procedures. While training with me, I watched her grow into a mature and confident professional. Thus, I could not recommend Dr. ____ ____ to your advanced placement dental education program. She will be an asset I am certain.
Sincerely,
Dental LOR Letter of Recommendation from Dean of Dental School
