Sample Letter of Application for the job as a Medical Doctor
Dear Dr. Roth,
I wish to
apply for the available job of a Resident Medical Doctor at your
institution as advertised on careers.com.uk. Please find my attached
curriculum vitae.
I believe that my training in the busy General
Hospital in California makes me a suitable candidate for this
position. The working time there has given me rich experience in
providing health care to patients from all walks of life. During my
intern year, I worked in cardiology, emergency, colorectal surgery,
renal medicine and relief. I have had experience being on call, doing
shift work, have also had placements at rural hospitals which have
shown me a different medical environment.
Through this experience, I have
developed a keen interest in acute care and have grown comfortable in
an acute care setting.
Should I be fortunate enough to join your
institution, I believe that my growth as a physician will continue as
I work hard to become an integral member of your dynamic team. In
that role I would expect to continue learning about providing quality
health care equally to all individuals - a principle that is one of
my strong beliefs. As well, I would look forward to both the
professional and personal growth that will come from being an active
member of a dynamic institution like yours and a part of the
community that you serve. I find rewarding being part of a
successful team that can make a real difference to people's lives.
My residency training in internal medicine during my years at
Memorial Hospital, have allowed me to better understand the needs of
patients from various cultures and different ethnic backgrounds. It
has also given me valuable experience in dealing with the many
challenges that one faces on a daily basis in a hospital environment
including: admitting patients in the emergency room, working long
hours in the wards, looking after critically ill patients in the ICU,
among other such activities. During my residency I worked in
orthopedic surgery, geriatrics, endocrinology and respiratory. I
believe that this kind of experience positions me ideally to provide
a high standard of medical care to the patients in your institution.
I very much look forward to having the opportunity to work with
you and serving in your community. Please do not hesitate to contact
me in order to arrange for an interview.
I am looking forward
to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Mary Dragner, MD
