Dear Hiring Manager,

As a medical researcher and medical coder with 15 years of experience in the medical training field, I am always on the lookout for companies who are involved in innovative and engaging work. I have been a great admirer of Baylor Scott & White Health since 1997, and I am thrilled to apply for the medical coder, medical researcher, and medical training position at your company.

Since 1992, I have been at the forefront of medical science, helping to shape design of innovative medical research products and medical coding of charts. In the last 20 years, I have led medically trained staff in an immediate increase in production. Running a department has taught me to be disciplined, organized and a self-starter when it comes to designing projects and meeting deadlines. At Karolinksa Institutet, I was a medical researcher that always met deadlines and accomplished goals including the development of a method to measure lens ascorbate concentration utilizing ultrafiltration and high pressure liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. At Mesa Hills Specialty Hospital, I was a medical coder who worked efficiently and successfully on charts and quality data analysis and met deadlines on time.

Your recent medical training articles, Baylor Scott & White Health, was the impetus for my exploration of medical genetics testing. I have researched inherited eye disorders extensively and implemented the results into medical science as a result of medical genetics testing’s feature. I believe that my experience and proven track record in innovative solutions make me the perfect fit for this position.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Vino C. Mody Jr., M.D., Ph.D. (Lic.)
