RE: Medical Assistant

As a newly AAMA Certified Medical Assistant with experience in providing clinical assistance to cardiologists in outpatient settings, it is with great professional enthusiasm I submit my resume for consideration to join your team as an AAMA Certified Medical Assistant. Given my formal training and past experience in office administration, I am confident I can make significant contributions to your medical practice and help sustain its reputation for excellence in patient care. In each of my professional roles, I have delivered success on a number of initiatives by applying a focused personal integrity and work ethic. Most recently, I completed an externship at Cardiology Physicians under Dr. Humayun A. Jamidar's guidance. In this role, I gained great hands-on experience in patient assessments, including using diagnostic tools such as 12-lead ECG/EKG machines, Holter monitors, and PT/INR meters, to help Dr. Jamidar formulate individualized plans of care for his patients. In addition to my direct patient experiences, I also helped to maintain streamlined clinic workflows by maintaining examination rooms, assisting with inventory management, and managing and updating confidential patient files. As a result of my detailed patient charting, I was praised for my notes and my ability to clearly communicate patients' needs to all medical team members. Because of my strong clinical skills and professionalism, I was offered a permanent position at Cardiology Physicians five days into a six-week externship, which I unfortunately had to decline due to my husband's job transfer to Fort Myers. In addition to my clinical skills in medical assisting, I also have a strong background in business and office administration. Prior to my professional transition into medical assisting, I owned a small financial services business where I provided individuals, small businesses, and S-corporations with full charge bookkeeping, accounting, and tax preparation and filing. Additionally, I have experience in working within collaborative environments as a Media Assistant for Whitney Education Group. In this role, I provided comprehensive assistance to media buying teams to achieve high-reaching departmental and organizational goals. It is mygoal to apply my newly acquired clinical skills with my successes in administration and business development.

My enclosed resume provides further insight into my skills and qualifications. As you will see, I have a broad range of experience that will make me a valuable asset to your medical practice.

I look forward to meeting with you to discuss the details of this opportunity. In the interim, thank you for reading the accompanying materials, including my letter of recommendation.

Sincerely,

Judy Colette McNamara, CMA (AAMA)
