Dear Physician Recruiter,

I am writing to you in reference to either full or part-time, as a pediatric urgent care/emergency provider at one of your sites in Florida. I have attached my CV for your reference. I currently live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. For the last twenty-four years, as a board-certified pediatrician, I have been employed as a pediatric emergency physician at a highly regarded community hospital pediatric emergency center. This center is part of a Level 1 trauma center for patients sixteen years and older.

I have thoroughly enjoyed and grown from my experience at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor, named one of the top 100 hospitals in the United States by IBM Watson Health. The collegial support of adult emergency physicians at St Joe’s and pediatric emergency physicians at University of Michigan CS Mott’s Children’s Hospital has provided me a solid foundation to care for patients from newborns through young adults. After much consideration, I have decided to pursue a move to Florida. I have over two decades of clinical pediatric emergency experience and a dedication to provide exceptional quality of care. As our Pediatric Emergency Quality Assurance Officer, I have the opportunity to collaborate with subspecialists and pediatricians, both inpatient and local. I am gratified by my contributions in the development of pain and anxiolysis protocols for our pediatric patients, involvement with St. Joe’s as one of the early few centers that use MRI to diagnose pediatric appendicitis, streamlining fracture management for our pediatric patients, as well as continual ongoing projects.

I would embrace joining a growing pediatric urgent care/emergency practice. With skill and compassion, I am confident that I can provide the extensive services you offer. I am board certified in pediatrics, have PALS and ATLS certification, DEA licensure, and currently in the process of obtaining Florida licensure.

I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
