So I asked my dentist to write a LOR for me and I turned the sealed envelope to HPAC (Health professions advisory committee)...the advisor opened the letter and front of me and said this is too short (it was only 1 paragraph...😱😱😱) He wanted me to get a detailed letter from dentist. When I told my dentist about the incident (politely and scared:xf:) he told me to write the LOR and give it to him and he will edit it the way he wants and send it to HPAC.

I have never done this before and I have no idea what to write. Please help!!!!

Do a search. I think there have been a few threads posted lately. Long story short, just talk about what your perks are.
 
That was actually one of my fears...How can I write about my good qualities without sounding biased?

Hmm.. Just don't be over cocky. Try to look at yourself from an outsider point of view. Also, what I would do is just write one, and then go to the dentist and see if he can just edit it a little and talk about it with him. That way you give him some ideas, and he verifies them, or tells you where he would change it.
