Dear Dr. Rutledge:
I am writing this letter of recommendation in support of Dr. M. Chandani's nomination for an Illinois
State University Trustee Teaching Award.
I have known Dr. Chandani for the past 30 months, as a fellow in the division of Clinical
Pharmacology/Gastroenterology and Hepatology. During that period I worked very closely with him in
the clinic and on various research projects. As a result, I have become very familiar with Dr. Chandani
as a teacher. Accordingly, I am writing this because it is my sincere belief that he is eminently qualified
to be a recipient of an Illinois State University Trustee Teaching Award.
Over the past year and onehalf Dr. Chandani has demonstrated to me time and again that he is an
exceptional communicator and gifted teacher. In my opinion, he is the perfect model for a teacher in a
school of medicine. He is a highly dedicated professional who knows how to motivate his students to
strive for excellence. Both in the lecture hall and in person, Dr. Chandani is a dynamic and powerful
communicator who possesses the gift of being able to make complex subjects understandable. In spite
of these formidable gifts, he is a humble and approachable person who loves to share his extensive
knowledge with others, his students in particular.
Dr. Chandani has played a major role in helping me choose a career in Clinical Pharmacology
Gastroenterology/Hepatology. Under his tutelage I have been motivated to strive for and achieve
exceptionally high standards in patient care. In our work together on several research projects he
provided me with outstanding mentorship in the disciplines of: study design, protocol writing, data
analysis, and reporting. In many areas, both personally and professionally, Dr. Chandani has taught and
encouraged me to meet challenges that I had never before thought possible.
In closing, it is with sincere conviction that I enthusiastically recommend that Dr. M. Chandani be
selected as a recipient of Illinois State University Trustee Teaching Award.
Sincerely,
Ronald T. Morgano, M.D.
