To whom it may concern,

I am writing this letter in support of Daniel Albarran, who is currently applying for a position in the field of law. He has informed me that he is considering applying to law school within the next year or two. I spent the 2014 summer with Daniel when he worked under my supervision as an undergraduate intern at Weill Cornell's lower Manhattan Hospital where I served as the site director for the Division of Gastroenterology. He also worked with me as an undergraduate intern at Gramercy Park Digestive Disease Center. As a young man, Daniel impressed me very much as he demonstrated an extremely high level of intellect and passion for learning. He demonstrated excellent interpersonal skills with all the professionals at the hospital as well as extraordinary teamwork skills. He became an asset to the Division of Gastroenterology especially since he is bilingual and was able to translate complex medical information to the Spanish speaking patients.

During our months together he was inquisitive with regards to the pathology that we treating (my interest is in emergent Gastrointestinal procedures and diseases of the pancreas and bile duct), but he was also thoughtful and caring with respect to the individual and his illness. As the months proceeded I was able to make several personal connections with Daniel. He was very diverse in his conversational topics and interests. At the time I thought that he was interested pursuing a career in Medicine, but we spoke a great deal about alternative career paths including law School and Business School. Daily he conversed with me on social issues, not only inquiring as to my thoughts, but confidently expressing his own thoughts as well. Not only from a professional perspective, but also from personal perspective, I was very impressed with Daniel and the level of maturity with which he carried himself. I have no doubt that he will make an exceptional lawyer, as I had no doubt that he would have become an exceptional physician. I would highly recommend Daniel for any apprentice position or internship in the field of law since I consider him to be motivated and highly intelligent. He would make an excellent asset to your staff.

Should you have any questions concerning Daniel and/or the time he spent working with me, please feel free to contact me.
