To Whom It May Concern:

Growing up in a family with several physicians, each specializing in a different branch of medicine, exposed me early on to the field of medicine and fueled my interest to become a Physician Assistant. Having recently passed my boards, I am excited about the prospect of starting my career as a Physician Assistant with a major medical center. For your review, I have attached my resume highlighting my clinical rotations and credentials, which includes my degree from Touro College's Physician Assistant Program.

During my clinical rotations, I had the privilege of working under both dedicated physicians and physician assistants across various medical units, from major medical centers and nursing homes to private practice settings. I greatly enjoyed observing, evaluating, diagnosing and treating a broad range of patient populations.

At the conclusion of each rotation, I was commended for my ability to examine, assess, diagnose, treat, and properly prescribe medications. In addition to being recognized for my technical skills, strong work ethic and my ability to quickly learn and work as part of a team in fast paced medical units, I was praised for my bedside manner and my willingness to educate patients and families on self-care with a focus on complication prevention, medication regimens, rehabilitation and pain management techniques.

I would welcome the opportunity to interview with you and your team to discuss a position as a Physician's Assistant with your practice. I am confident you will find me to be a highly skilled and knowledgeable young medical professional with a deep commitment to ensuring the provision of quality patient care while upholding the standards of the medical industry.

For your convenience, I can be reached directly at 631-***-****. Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

John Gimeli, RPA-C
