Dear Dr. Dickerson,

Thank you very much for allowing me to come into your office and experience what a day in the life of an ob/gyn looks like. I know you have a really busy schedule so I really appreciate the time that you took out to give me advice about choosing a specialty, holding onto humanity in medicine, and for providing me with valuable knowledge throughout the day. Thank you for the opportunity to spend time with a patient one-on-one and for showing me how to measure the size of a uterus and listen to a baby's heartbeat! This was the first time I've observed and practiced any of these physical exam procedures so this was a very valuable moment for me. The time that I spent observing you and Lynn in the office has made me even more intrigued in your specialty. Thank you so much for all your time and help!

Best,
Rida Farook
