Sample reference
letter from a hospital administrator for a Chief of Psychology Service
seeking a new position: (names are fictitious)
To Whom It May
Concern:
This serves
as a letter of reference for Dr. Martin Kaye, Ph.D., who has applied for
an administrative position at your company, Healthcare Systems. It is my
honor to recommend Dr. Kaye. I have known him since January 1994. I became
his administrative supervisor upon my employment at County Medical Center.
Dr. Kaye has
been the Chief of Psychology Service here for ten years. He has demonstrated
outstanding talents in both administrative/ managerial as well as clinical
practice spheres. He has a reputation as a superb manager of the mental
health program at this center.
Revealing of
his administrative abilities, Dr. Kaye took the initiative to significantly
enlarge the substance abuse treatment program (in-patient, day hospital,
and outpatient) and the mental health outpatient clinic program. He was
able to greatly increase staffing and funding for these services. Consequently
the hospital was able to construct an entire new building, devoted exclusively
to these programs, a few years ago. As Chief of the Psychology Service,
Dr. Kaye has demonstrated uncanny skill in selection of staff and interns.
These employees and trainees continue to practice successfully to this
day.
Dr. Kaye has
also distinguished himself as a superb clinician, working in his profession
over two decades: ten years here and ten years in a previous, similar setting.
His competence, compassion and ethics as a psychologist are exemplary.
In providing a broad spectrum of psychological assessment and treatment,
he has more than proven his ability to lead a large and complex mental
health care system.
As a clinician,
Dr. Kaye also devoted much time recently to developing an outstanding Anger
Management Program, a special area of interest which has become in demand
in modern American society for obvious reasons. His skill diagnosing and
treating Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and other disorders is remarkable.
He regularly lectures on these topics to other mental health professionals.
Dr. Kaye also provides excellent consultations to inpatient psychiatry
and medical-surgical units of this center.
His commitment
to education and teaching is highlighted by his early development of the
Psychology Internship Program for trained individuals who have completed
coursework to qualify for doctoral degrees in psychology. In this capacity
he had to develop a seminar curriculum, schedule clinical assignments,
arrange for supervision (by himself and others), and coordinate with their
doctoral departments at several universities. The supplementary services
of these interns do greatly benefit the medical center and its patients.
This program had to gain official approval by the American Psychological
Association; it thus affords much prestige for our medical center in addition
to providing required training for future licensed psychologists.
Fortunately,
too, Dr. Kaye's amalgamation of administrative and clinical skills comes
"packaged" in a wonderfully friendly, witty, sincere and caring human being.
His personality is delightful. He is sensitive, flexible, respected and
admired by patients, peers, subordinates and superiors alike. He shines
with a humility that belies his intellectual brilliance.
I am deeply
impressed by Dr. Kaye and recommend him unhesitatingly. I am confident
that, if selected for your vacancy, he would provide the same high level
of service and commitment. If you have any questions or wish to speak further
about Dr. Kaye, please feel free to call me at 443-887-2345.
Sincerely,
Donald Stern,
Ph.D.
