Clients of DLA’s personal statement services enjoy a 100% medical fellowship acceptance rate.

Houston, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/09/2023 -- DLA Editors & Proofers (DLA), a leading global provider of personal statement services for applications to medical fellowship in the United States and Canada, announced a decade and a half of unsurpassed success in personal statement services for medical fellowship. Since 2008, candidates using DLA's services for their personal statements for medical fellowship have achieved a 100% acceptance rate.

DLA utilizes a proprietary approach cultivated to leverage not just their clients' professional experience and strengths but also their weaknesses, vision, character and personality. This approach enables applicants across a wide range of talents, skills and backgrounds to present themselves to fellowship directors as candidates ready to excel across an equally wide range of subspecialties and medical fellowship programs.

Led by editor-in-chief and owner David Lombardino, DLA's personal statement experts are chosen for their detailed knowledge of the admissions process and their passion to help others achieve life-changing goals. While each personal statement is assigned a lead expert, DLA's experts collaborate to ensure each personal statement excels across the three pillars of an outstanding narrative — form, voice and content.

"We pride ourselves in the vision we achieve as a team," said Lombardino, "and in leaving no stone unturned in identifying what improvements, big or small, can be made to a personal statement to attract a program director's attention and get our clients noticed."

DLA's bespoke solutions come in the form of four services tailored to meet every budget and the needs of a client's personal statement. They offer PS Development for applicants starting from scratch and PS Revision & Critique for those with a rough draft or doubts about the form, voice or content. For candidates wanting only feedback and no editing, they offer PS Evaluation, and for those wanting only proofreading and light editing, they offer PS Proofreading.

"From Latin America to the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia, in addition, of course, to our own backyard of the United States and Canada," continued Lombardino, "our clients come from every culture and background. They are united by a common goal: to gain acceptance to the world's leading medical fellowship programs and entry into pioneering research and clinical practice across a broad range of medical subspecialties."

In a recent interview, Dr. Chien-Wen Yang, originally from Taiwan, talked about using DLA's services for her personal statement to get accepted into an internal medicine residency, a master of science in epidemiology and GlomCon, a highly competitive international glomerular diseases fellowship led by Harvard. "I want to thank [DLA for] everything that DLA did for me," Yang said. And if she had one piece of advice to share with other applicants, it would be to "start early."

Orthopedic Surgery Assistant Professor Dr. Matthew E. Koepplinger has read many personal statements that could use DLA’s help

Houston, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/22/2019 -- DLA Editors & Proofers, a leading provider of services for personal statements, CVs and resumes, the ERAS application, MSPEs, statements and letters of intent, and letters of recommendation, today announced that its personal statement services have been praised by Dr. Matthew E. Koepplinger, Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at McGovern Medical School at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth). Since 2008, DLA Editors & Proofers has been providing professional personal statement services to clients from both the United States and around the world applying to programs in Europe, Canada and the United States. In that time, across all programs and specialties, clients of DLA Editors & Proofers personal statement services have enjoyed a 99% acceptance rate, and most of these to their top-choice programs.

Having completed his residency training at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center in Toledo, Ohio, and a fellowship in hand and upper extremity surgery at Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Koepplinger is certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Orthopedic Surgery, and specializes in hand and upper-extremity surgery. He treats a variety of disorders, including trauma and fractures, ligamentous injuries, tendon, and nerve, and arthritis of the shoulder, wrist, elbow, and hand. He also treats carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, tennis elbow, and other sports injuries of the upper extremities.

Known affectionately as "Dr. K" by the medical students he teaches and the medical residents who rotate with him, as well as by nurses and the rest of the medical staff, Dr. Koepplinger is renowned for his kindness and patience as much as he is his expertise in orthopedic surgery. When he sees patients in the clinic, he does not rush through his time with them. Instead, he takes the time with each patient to explain his findings and his recommendations for treatment, and to answer any and all questions the patient may have, in a relaxed, comforting and supportive manner.

In his role as Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth, he reviews personal statements and applications from candidates wishing to match to the orthopedic residency program at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth. Upon hearing about the services DLA Editors & Proofers offer for personal statements, Dr. Koepplinger stated that, in his experience, there are many candidates who could benefit from DLA Editors & Proofers.

"I have read many bad personal statements," said Dr. Koepplinger, "and not even from international medical graduates who are writing in English as a second language. These are from native English speakers from U.S. medical schools. It's as if they have never learned to write."

David Lombardino, founder and editor-in-chief of DLA Editors & Proofers, agrees. "In each application cycle, we help both international medical graduates and U.S. medical graduates with their personal statements for medical residency. No matter where you are from, writing a good or even great personal statement is no easy task. It is not just a matter of putting words down on paper or copying experiences from your CV. The most successful personal statements are ones that have been reflected on and considered deeply even before the writing begins."

This is where DLA Editors & Proofers comes in. With their proprietary PS Revision & Critique and PS Consultation packages for personal statements, they delve deeply into their clients' experiences, personalities and goals to unearth the best content and writing style to help achieve their clients' best personal statements, all while staying within their clients' voices.

"It is a unique and special talent that the editors at DLA Editors & Proofers, led by David Lombardino, have," said Dr. Koepplinger. "I wish many more candidates would use their personal statement services."

Houston, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/12/2015 -- When it comes to real estate transactions, clients choose Karen Arbelaez (http://web.har.com/aws/aws.cfm?agent_number=496888) because of her track record, experience and expertise in the frenetic Houston real estate market. She cites those same reasons for selecting DLA Editors & Proofers (http://www.dlaeditors.com) to help her with her marketing communication needs.

"I've been in this business for almost 15 years, so I know what I need to say to potential clients on both sides of the sales transaction," said Arbelaez. "But I wasn't great at translating those thoughts into compelling written content. I'd write down what I wanted to say, but the words on the page didn't always say what I had in mind. Then I met David."

David Lombardino is the founder of DLA Editors & Proofers, a Houston-based service that helps its clients with a variety of communication needs. Lombardino met Arbelaez when looking for a tenant for an investment property. "Karen was easy to get to know, but what stood out the most was her ability to assess our goals quickly and accurately, and develop an appropriate plan to achieve them," he recalled. "She found us a great tenant, who is still with us four years later. While we worked together, Karen and I both talked about our businesses, and Karen asked to see what we could do for her marketing communication."

DLA provided editing and consultation services for Arbelaez's website content, personal bio and listing descriptions. "David and his team are so professional and have great insight into my business," she continued. "They didn't just tell me how to rewrite what I had written—they took the time to learn about my business in depth, my client base and how I like to work. Then they used that to make content suggestions. I have complete trust in DLA and couldn't be happier with the results."

Houston, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/22/2015 -- Robert Woolfolk, author of Little Slices of the Big Easy and an editorial client of Houston-based editing and proofreading service DLA Editors & Proofers (DLA) (www.dlaeditors.com), has learned his book has been accepted into the collection of The Historic New Orleans Collection (THNOC) (http://www.hnoc.org).

In announcing the acceptance of the book, THNOC Board of Directors wrote, "Little Slices of the Big Easy will complement The Collection's existing holdings, and will be a welcome addition to the material that can be made available to researchers."

"We're so excited for Robert, but not surprised," said DLA founder David Lombardino. "In our work editing the book with Robert, it was immediately clear he was an original and authentic voice as he related stories of growing up in New Orleans during the 30s and 40s."

"I'm absolutely thrilled. This was a labor of love that began a few decades ago," remarked Woolfolk. Born and raised in New Orleans, Woolfolk joined the U.S. Navy at the onset of World War II. After the war, he traveled the world working in the oil and gas industries, writing down his memories of his youth in a far different New Orleans than exists today. A collection of short stories, the book centers on the exploits of a crew of friends and neighbors who can't seem to stay out of trouble. "The New Orleans culture I grew up in was such that it created the opportunity for a young group of boys to be able to use their imagination and freedom to live exciting and productive lives."

Woolfolk credits DLA with helping make his stories of 80 years ago relatable to current readers, and has also used the editing service for The Postern, the first in a new fictional series to be published in 2016. Said Woolfolk, "DLA carefully reviewed both manuscripts and were able to clarify certain passages for younger readers who weren't around during the 1930s and 40s and correct any discrepancies. They did a great job editing the manuscripts and in the case of the second novel, The Postern, they brought it into the modern world."

About Robert Woolfolk
Born in New Orleans in 1923, Robert Woolfolk, was a "Mad Chemist" and an accomplished athlete throughout his childhood and young adult years. He is also an accomplished ballroom dancer, pianist, and singer. In the U.S. Navy, he was accepted to the Scouts and Raiders (later known as the Seals), units which suffered horrific losses in combat missions during the war. After the war, Woolfolk was chief engineer for many oil and gas companies, and later founded National Healthcare Alliance, one of the largest managed healthcare companies of the Southwest. Woolfolk lives in Houston with his wife and daughter and is working on his next book.

Houston, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/04/2015 -- Houston-based editing and proofreading service DLA Editors & Proofers (DLA) (http://www.dlaeditors.com) has been awarded an A+ Rating by the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The A+ Rating is the highest rating awarded by the BBB, an organization that monitors and rates businesses' interactions with their customers.

"We could not be more excited about this honor," said DLA founder and editor in chief David Lombardino. "People pour themselves into what they write, and they look to us to make it as good as it can be. So the fact that our clients have been so pleased with our service and responsiveness just validates the way we've been doing business since we started seven years ago."

According to the BBB website (http://www.bbb.org/), ratings are based on numerous factors, most notably the number of complaints filed with the organization against a business (and the business' response and resolution of those complaints). In their explanation of DLA's A+ Rating, the organization cites DLA's adherence to the BBB's stringent Code of Business Practices, length of time in business and the lack of complaints filed against the company. The BBB tracks complaints over a rolling three-year period, and according to the BBB site, there have been no complaints filed against DLA with the BBB in the past three years.

Continued Lombardino, "Much of our work involves editing papers and essays for admission to professional schools, and editing presentations and marketing content for companies. People have a lot riding on what they have written. And authors can be both sensitive about and protective of their work. I think it speaks to the professionalism of our editing staff that our clients continually report such a high level of satisfaction with our services."

Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/29/2015 -- Not everyone who suffers a tragic life event can find a healthy means to cope. To them, the world no longer feels safe, and they struggle to get through the day. Individuals that experience trauma and traumatic events often don't know where to turn for help. In Connecticut and nationally, behavioral health care systems are in the process of incorporating an understanding of trauma into the way in which they deliver behavioral health services. In addition, organizations and systems of care are offering specific services and treatment to address the differences in which men and women may respond to trauma and overwhelming life events.

The Connecticut Women's Consortium (CWC) began in New Haven in 1990 to improve the health of women and their families by addressing substance abuse and its consequences. They developed a model that grew into Public Act 90-183, the country's first comprehensive approach to caring for women struggling with substance abuse and their children. Originally known as The Consortium for Substance Abusing Women and Their Children, CWC worked with the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services to consolidate services throughout the 1990s and in 1998 expanded to serve women statewide. Their focus shifted to broader issues in women's behavioral health and trauma, and in 2001 they began operating as CWC.

Today CWC is an independent nonprofit organization offering education, advocacy and training for caregivers and service providers in the behavioral health field. The CWC's mission is "to ensure that the behavioral health system responds to the needs of women and the people and organizations that affect them" through "holistic, trauma-informed and gender-responsive care." The Consortium's primary advocacy is in providing trainings to clinicians and caregivers on behavioral health that include trauma-treatment models for reducing anxiety, improving quality of life and providing stability. The Consortium also helps build coalitions of stakeholders that support capacity for improved behavioral health for women. In training clinicians in best practices, the Consortium helps support enhanced service delivery in correctional facilities, halfway houses, transitional housing and homeless outreach agencies.

Aili Arisco, director of Education and Training, came to CWC three years ago following her MSW internship with Correctional Managed Health Care and employment with the Department of Labor STRIDE program that offered a window into understanding the struggles of incarcerated individuals transitioning into communities. Her hope was to find an environment in which she could increase capacity for services and resources for women, especially formally incarcerated individuals. Supervising the production of training catalogs and the consortium's "Trauma Matters" quarterly newsletters is one of Arisco's many duties, and, like her other responsibilities, sometimes presents challenges. She found that while her collaborators all had great ideas, they also had different approaches to writing. She knew she needed to find a credible editing company to help them achieve a unified voice, and so turned to DLA Editors & Proofers.

"Many of our clients are in the same shoes as CWC," said David Lombardino, editor in chief of DLA Editors & Proofers. "They are on the front lines of transforming the lives of the underserved and want to focus as much of their efforts as possible on doing what they do best. Aili and her team are pioneers in healing and edifying communities, and there is no greater privilege than to be able to support them in their work."

"DLA's insight is invaluable," Arisco said. "They save us time and help us ensure the materials we publish are of the highest quality. Our collaborations and meetings are ones in which we can now focus on developing strategies and solutions knowing that DLA will help us refine and translate our ideas into documents and publications that are impactful and effective in helping to create change. We receive great feedback in a timely manner from DLA in a way that is easy to incorporate the changes DLA recommends. Utilizing DLA as a resource has significantly improved clarity in our writing, greater engagement with our audience, and overall a more successful delivery of our services."

Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/17/2014 -- When it comes to providing overnight and weekend respite care to families of children with special needs, no one does it better than Jill's House, Inc.. Though officially opened in 2010, the concept for Jill's House started in 2003, when Lon Solomon, pastor of McLean Bible Church and father of three boys, and his wife welcomed baby Jill into their family. They had already been thinking about how their family dynamics would change, as had happened when their other children were born, but what they never expected is that Jill would be born with special needs, and the additional demands that would place on them.

Members of McLean Bible Church began to see firsthand the additional strain Lon and his family faced in caring for Jill, and were moved with compassion to help them and other families facing similar struggles. Their plan was simple but bold: to open a facility offering overnight and weekend respite care. Jill's House opened four years ago to serve families in the Washington, DC area. Today, for every child attending, they have two more on the waiting list.

Cameron Doolittle, president and CEO of Jill's House, explained that families with special needs children experience much higher rates of stress, divorce and suicide, and are less physically healthy than families with typical children. "The families never get a break. They can't call family or friends in many cases or even a babysitter. If others are available, it is only for a few hours. Families need long breaks, at least overnight." He continued: "Something magical happens when they go home and have a date, sleep on their own pillows, and don't have to worry about monitoring seizures or a child slipping out of the house. They come back feeling refreshed—and for many, it is for the first time in years."

When Jill's House was looking for the right leader to give them a strong start, they approached Cameron Doolittle. He had a record of success in the corporate world as a business consultant and agreed, thinking he would stay about six months. However, he is still with them four years later. "I feel privileged to do the work we do and be a blessing to the families" he comments.

Doolittle knew the surest path to success with Jill's House was to maintain a high level of excellence in all areas. This included not only in caring for the children, but also in all their communications with parents, donors and the public. They turned to DLA Editors & Proofers, a leading provider of editing and proofreading services, for their similar high standard of excellence. DLA Editors & Proofers, led by Editor in Chief David Lombardino, is unique in that they hire only editors with extensive experience and do not outsource any of their work to freelancers. "In the seven years I worked as an editor and proofreader for the U.N., I learned that the best editing and proofreading can be done only by a team of in-house professionals dedicated not simply to editing and proofreading, but to caring about how their work affects the clients on the other side of the documents. When any of us edits a document for Jill's House, we get excited to be able to help, at least in a small way, in the great work they are doing."

In addition to their full-time facilities, Jill's House rents space for weekend camps in Virginia, California, Colorado and Texas and is looking to expand across the country. Current destinations they are exploring are in Seattle, Phoenix, Kansas City and Birmingham, with a vision to serve in 20 locations by 2020. Their ultimate dream is for every family with a special needs child to have access to respite for overnight and weekend care and a church to support them.

Families pay part of the cost of their children's care, but funding from outside sources supplements it, with 100% of contributions going to the direct costs of child care. Corporate sponsorships and fundraisers like the annual black-tie gala, A Celebration of Special Children and the Team Jill's House Marine Corps Marathon and 10K are a portion of the support. Individual donations, such as through their Sponsor-a?Child?for?a?Night program, are just as important, and many come from parents who do not have children with special needs.

About DLA Editors & Proofers
Since 2008, DLA Editors & Proofers has edited over 30 million words for more than 3,000 satisfied corporate clients, authors, academics, students, writers and a variety of professionals. Founded with the vision of providing in-house professional editing and proofreading services to an increasingly online community, and headquartered in Houston, TX, their clients include industry leaders like Carter's, Foresee and Cabka.

About Jill's House
