Dr Mr/MRS the head department of cardiovascular surgery ,

Greetings, my name is Safouane FRINI, I am currently a third year medical student at

Ibn el Jazzar’s University of Medicine of Sousse, Tunisia. And I am writing to you in
the goal of obtaining a clerkship at your department, but let me first explain to you
why I am interested in this field.

First and undeniably this specialty changes people’s lives in very profound ways.
Helping people when all other treatments have been exhausted is one of the most
enjoyable experiences of this life-saving career and getting to see that is really
priceless and would definitely emphasize the love you have for Medicine and that is
something that I really want to experience.

Secondly, I want to discover the world of surgery, because being just a 3 rd year
medical student, I don’t get to see much of this field, that’s why I want to spend as
much possible time as I can exploring it and learning form it. So this clerkship will
really help me set my goals and make the right decisions for my future career.

In addition, the anatomy of the cardiovascular system amazes me, and to be able to
see the human heart beating with my bear eyes is like a dream come true. Plus, for
me, unlike most students who consider academic learning too abstract, I need to see,
touch and smell what I read and write about in order to understand and memorize it.

I think that I can fit in your department, because, I’ve developed a passion for
learning ever since I got into medical school; I believe that active learning starts next
to patients in every inch of the hospital. I’d be more than honored to get to spend a
month in a place that I consider my heaven-on-earth.

Finally, I hope that my application will be of interest to you and look forward to
hearing from you soon.

Sincerely Yours ,

Safouane FRINI
