SAMPLE EMAIL TO USE WHILE APPLYING FOR USCE [US Clinical Experiences]

Here's a sample email format to use while writing to places to enquire about observerships and externships (Of course you can call too). This email format is specific to places with residency programs, but that does not mean hospitals or other health-care institutes like Long Term Care Facilities, Ambulatory care centers, satellite clinics, etc. are not to be considered, coz something is better than nothing at all. What I want to stress it that you gotta change the format according to the kind of specialty and institute you are writing to. Did I hear you say "Duh" ...hehe




"Dear _____________,


Greetings! My Name is ABC D EFG, an International Medical Graduate from University of the Philippines, Manila, Philippines. I intend to apply for residency traning at your esteemed Internal Medicine program and am keen on exploring an opportunity to observe or, if possible, work in the capacity of an extern at your institution. Besides your program being highly recommended by peers, I studied your website and was impressed by the wide scope of learning opportunities available.


A snapshot of my Credentials is as follows:

Medical School:
Graduated:
Overall GPA / Class :

USMLE Step 1:
USMLE Step 2 CK:
USMLE Step 2 CS:
USMLE Step 3:
ECFMG Certified on:

In addition, Kindly find my resume attached to this email as a word document.


I assure you a completely professional behaviour and a committment to uphold patient privacy, confidentiality and safety. I am open to purchase my own malpractice insurance to cover me during the period, in case your institute does not provide one.


Awaiting your reply,


Thank you,


Sincerely,

ABC D EFG"

Hi,

Requirements for Observership and Externships are not official for all programs, each program will have its own requirements..hence you gotta write to them and find out ..coz requirements keep changing year by year for the same program too..
