Medical Specialty Application Cover Letter

Blog

Each application unless otherwise stated, needs to have an individualised cover letter.

The purpose of the application letter is to highlight your qualifications, experience, skill set and personal attributes required for entry to the specialty and to substantiate claims in your application.

When writing the letter you need to briefly outline your key skills, relevant experience and personal attributes that clearly meet the position criteria. This can be written either in short paragraphs or in point form and should be in order of importance to the selection committee. Each comment should be supported with an example such as 3 years experience working as an…..unaccredited/registrar etc. Use the headings in the application section as your guideline.
