Subject: IDEAL JOB OPPORTUNITY -
MEDICAL FIELD - DOCTOR'S ASSISTANT PLANNING ON MEDICAL SCHOOL
To whom it may concern:
I am writing to you regarding a job opportunity I have in my office that would
be ideal for a postbaccaluareate premedical student taking a glide year or a
premed student who is taking a year off before medical school.
I am a pain management interventional anesthesiologist with a very busy
practice in Brooklyn Heights, NY. I employ three doctor's assistants, and
have been doing so for the past six years. The three assistants are
responsible for the day-to-day functions of the office. This includes
speaking to the patients, taking histories, assisting in minor surgeries,
following up with patients, dealing with insurance companies....obviously there
is a great deal of patient contact. All of the doctor's assistants have
gone on to medical school. This is an ideal glide year opportunity.
If anyone is interested in the position, they should send their resume/CV (in
the body of an email) and a cover letter to the following email: [log in to unmask]
The job posting is attached to this email and is below in the body of the
email.
Please advise students to read the description and follow the directions on how
to apply.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mr. Grant S. Jones in my
office. If you are not the direct contact person of whom this
email should be directed, please forward to the appropriate
person/department.
In advance, I thank you very much.
Respectfully,
Mathew Lefkowitz, MD
Doctor’s Assistant (April 2009)
This
Brooklyn Heights medical practice is seeking a mature, reliable, respectful,
personable team player for a doctor’s assistant position in a busy
private-practice office.
This is
an ideal glide year opportunity for someone who is or will be applying to
medical school.
Job Description:
In this
full-time job, you will work intimately with the doctor and patients—conducting
interviews and assisting the doctor in minor surgeries. The assistant
will also function as a liaison among the doctor, patients, and outside
healthcare professionals. He/She will also compose and edit initial
evaluation reports and various letters to physicians on behalf of the doctor,
as well as learn how to verify insurance and request authorization from
insurance companies. You will be joining a team of three assistants.
We
provide health insurance.
All previous assistants have
matriculated into medical school. This is not a typical medical assistant
position.
Ideal Candidate:
You must
possess the ability to relate well with patients and have a strong medical
background. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is or will be
applying to medical school (possibly during a glide year). A bachelor’s
degree in a science-related field (e.g. biology, chemistry, psychology) or
completion of a post-baccalaureate premedical program is required.
You must
have excellent communication skills (written and verbal) and be
well-spoken. You must be responsible, hard-working, and respectful.
How to Apply:
Send a copy of your resume/CV in the body of an email (i.e. not as an
attachment), and include a brief letter expressing your interest and why you
are a good candidate for this position to the following address: [log in to unmask]
