UDLCO summary:
How students are represented by their trainers do have an impact on their subsequent trainers in decision making as to if they should be hired. There is a global industry that tries to create fake representations for students in the form of exceptionally highlighting qualities that the students may not possess and many teachers who cannot possibly connect personally with 200 students in a batch (as at a given time with 5 active batches that would mean 1000 students to personally interact with), most teachers may simply sign whatever is dished out to them as a draft. In an attempt to optimise this current decadent practice that does have pluses if done well, we tried to stream line the LOR process in an evidence based manner displaying the student's work with us locally, in the form of an online learning portfolio aka dynamic E log (as termed by NMC) to his her future global director/hirer/employer.

Thank you Sir.
[25/07, 08:35] Professor: Here are my edits below to what you shared and I had to delete a few statements you used because we can make those statements only for a few students in the top 1% in our assessment, who have particularly worked with us and created impact locally as well as globally through their publications with our team.
Check out my edits below to what you shared 👇
Dear Programme Director,
Dear Program Director, I am pleased to write a letter of reference for Dr...in his application for your program.
I am currently a full Professor in the Department of General Medicine at the Institute of Medical Sciences, from where Dr...trained as an undergraduate
and other than a graduate residency training and undergraduate program, we also host a patient centred, global elective learning program.
Our department has known Dr..., since his second year General Medicine rotations, and he has interacted with us ever since in his group and most of his verbal
and non verbal interactions can be accessed from his online learning portfolio in our departmental (entry year wise) dashboard
here: at [https://medicinedepartment.
personal assessment ranks at the top 25% of his batch.
Our department can strongly attest to most of our students’ abilities as we've had the opportunity to oversee them in both the In-patient and Out-patient setting and work with them during their
internship.
We wish him well in this new learning journey in your own institutional program.
