To Whom it may concern,
I am submitting this cover letter with resume in response to your medical assistant advertised position. I have many qualities and skills that would make me an asset to your company. For the last 8 years I have worked as a medical office assistant at numerous Medical Clinic in Winnipeg as well as one in Calgary Alberta.
This experience has made me very proficient at performing duties in the medical field. I have experience with Microsoft office and Jonoke, EMR, Mediplan, Healthsuite and accuro systems and would be able to quickly learn different systems as well. I am able to handle patient flow in a professional and courteous manner and work well with my colleagues. I also have knowledge of payment processing along with autoclaving procedures. Lastly I have experience assisting physicians with various medical procedures and have performed tasks such as urine dips, heights and weights and pregnancy tests.
I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss my qualifications and background with you and learn more about the medical assistant position. I have attached my resume for your review. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jody Asham
