Dear Hiring Manager,
I am excited to apply for a physician assistant position at your company. I have worked as a physician assistant for the past 14 years. While most of my working career has been in the field of pediatrics, I am looking forward to expanding my skill set in a more broad primary care environment.
With my past Physician Assistant roles, I examined, diagnosed, and counseled approximately 20-40 patients each day. My goal was to appropriately treat any acute conditions while educating my patients and their families to promote comprehensive wellness. To ensure all patient needs were met, I coordinated with the physician and health care staff while making referrals for additional intervention when necessary.
As a small child, I knew I wanted a career in medicine. My love and interest for medicine has only grown over the past 14 years since graduating PA school. Over these years, my family members have faced many different and some severe medical problems. I enjoy being able to educate and advocate for my family, friends and community regarding their care.
Thank you for taking the time to review my application, and I appreciate your consideration. I welcome the opportunity to learn more about the Physician Assistant position at your facility. I believe my ability to reach patients to help improve their health outcomes will be a benefit to your team and the community you serve.
Sincerely,
Angela Welch, PA-C
