RE: Cari McGarty, CMA

To Whom lt May Concern:

It is a pleasure to write this letter of reference for Cari McCarty, MedicalAssistant. I

have known Ms. McCarty for five years during which time she has been working at TheUniversity of Michigan School of Nursing Nurse Managed Health Centers. I practiced asa Nurse Practitioner at one of the Centers and has the privilege of working regularlywith Ms. McCarty. I also started the NMHCs and oversaw them during my years asAssociate Dean at the School of Nursing. Although I only practiced one session aweek-and I retired in June, 2011,1 knew all of the staff very well due to my overallwork with the Centers. Cari consistently demonstrates patient centered care, is able towork with diverse patients and is highly reliable, responsible, and ethical. She knowswhen to ask questions, is very capable of communicating clear information to bothpatients and providers. She takes pride in her work and wants the best of patients andthe practice setting.

I would highly recommend Ms. McCarty for a medical assistant position. The reasonshe is looking for a position is that the Centers are closing in Washtenaw County after15 years of service and relocating to a Detroit based Federally Qualified Health Center,a decision made by the Dean of the School of Nursing. For most of the staff at theCenters, this relocation is an impossible commute and all of the staff have beeninformed that they should seek other positions. lt is a loss to the Centers that Cari McCarty will not be relocating with them.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions.

Sincerely,

I have had the pleasure of working with Cari McCarty forapproximately the past 4 years @ the School of Nursing, Nurse ManagedCenters. I hired her for the position of Medical Assistant Specialist andhave been her supervisor throughout her employment with us.

Cari is a very dependable, hard working and conscientious person. Shehas proven this to me throughout her employ by developing her positioninto more that it was intended to be. She combines initiative; skill andcommon sense to effectively problem solve a wide variety of challengingsituations.

Cari's position requires frequent contact with patients as well as withco-workers and other professionals. She has excellent interpersonal skillsand a friendly personality that makes working with her very "easy" andpleasurable. Cari has also shown skill at displaying consideration andcompassion for others while maintaining a professional demeanor.

I am very sorry to lose Cari as an employee due to her needing a fulltime position. I wish her the best, any employer will be lucky to have heras their employee.

Please feel free to contact me if I can be of further assistance inproviding a reference for Cari McCarty.

Sincerely,
