KEYWORDS FOR LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION (LOR)

Often, you may be asked to frame an LOR yourself by your attending or faculty and he or she will edit and endorse, if found appropriate. Here are some keywords that you could use to focus on various aspects that it must focus on - your personality, work habits and intellectual and clinical capability. Of course, I don't expect you to use ALL - just the one's that are appropriate to you :-)
