To Whom It May Concern:

I am a Certified Tumor Registrar with 20+ years’ experience in all aspects of an ACoS Accredited Cancer Program. My experience ranges

from being the Cancer Registry Coordinator for a community cancer program, a joint cancer program, and I also worked as an

abstractor/QA/casefinding registrar for a large teach hospital facility which accessions 5000+ analytic cases per year. Currently, I am a

remote cancer registry abstractor/consultant.

At this time, I am looking for a direct hire part time or full time remote abstracting position, and have a great interest in becoming a

member of your healthcare team.

Attached is my resume for your perusal. I would like to have an opportunity to speak with you further about our mutual interests.

Respectfully,

Kimberly A. Baldwin, CTR
