Dear Hiring Manager,
I am very interested in the Physician Assistant Internal Medicine position, as
advertised online by K.A. Recruiting. With the necessary qualifications and my enthusiasm
within community medicine, I am confident I would be an ideal candidate for the position.
I have gained over two years of experience at a family practice in the state of New
York. I am now relocating to Pittsburgh to be near family. During my clinical experience
these past few years, I have provided a broad range of patient care. Additionally, I have
successfully built my own patient base; therefore, I am able to work effectively with minimal supervision. I am committed, eager, personable, and able to respond quickly in emergent situations; therefore, I believe I would be a significant asset to your medical team.
To further evaluate my qualifications, I have attached my resume below. I would greatly
appreciate an in terview to expand upon the position. I can be reached on my cell phone,
814-***-****, or by email, acb988@r.postjobfree.com. Thank you for your valuable time
and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Ellie O’Connell, PA-C
(active Pennsylvania certification)
