To whom it May concern:

I am writing to apply for the clinical research coordinator position advertised on your website. It would be a great opportunity to be part of your research team to contribute to ongoing research in your department.

My academic credentials include a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a minor in Chemistry and a Master’s degree in Clinical Research Administration, which was completed in Winter 2018. I am GCP and CITTI certified. During my graduate studies at Eastern Michigan University, I became well versed in clinical research.

I am currently the study coordinator for several studies that are part of cardiovascular and cardiac surgery. I have my PEERS certification, MiChart and as well as all the training requirements. I hope to continue to be a part of this team.
