It was wonderful to have the opportunity to speak with you concerning the family-medicine position with your practice, and I thank you. I
know how limited a physician's time can be, and your timely involvement in the interview process impressed me. After speaking with you,
I felt certain that we can develop an effective working relationship.
After reflecting on our discussion, I deduced that you are looking for more than a competent family practitioner; you seek someone with an
exceptional ability to communicate with patients. Holistic health-care skills are critical, and I can execute mine readily. I intend to use not
only my integrity and dedication in this position, but my open communication and interpersonal skills to their fullest extent.
The scope of responsibility for this position parallels my residency. I dedicated many hours to becoming proficient in numerous areas, and my
tenacity was quickly recognized. I would like to share the same experience while contributing to the success of your practice.
If you decide that I should interview with any of your partners, I will be available at your convenience. Until then, I look forward to the
possibility of working with you. I thank you again for taking the time to meet with me.
Sincerely yours,
