Please point out errors. Be viciously judgemental, like only pre meds can. Seriously. Thank you.
Dear Doctor, xxxxx
My name is xxxxxxxxx. I am a premedical student who has recently graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi and will be applying to William Carey College of Osteopathic Medicine this year. I was born and raised in Shelby Mississippi, a small town in the delta. I would love to practice primary care medicine in the delta, and my grades and MCAT scores make me a competitive applicant for osteopathic medical school. However, having exposure to the medical profession is required for admissions at most medical schools. I am contacting you to inquire about the possibility of job shadowing you for a few hours a week . Having this experience will help me get one step closer to my dream of practicing medicine.
Since we have never met, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a little more about myself and my goals. My personal philosophy of life includes having determination, integrity, and being a positive role model for others. Having these values allowed me to become the first person in my family to graduate college and inspire my younger siblings to do the same. Since I grew up in the delta I am fully aware of a lot of the problems here. One of the biggest problems I see, is a lack of positive role models in the community. In this area, a lot of people never try simply because they don't think they can. One big reason I am pursuing a career in medicine is so that I can become that positive role model who shows young people that you can achieve great things despite the color of your skin, and the perceived difficulties of life. Over the years I have developed a passion for medicine and life long learning. I have decided I will do whatever is needed to reach my goals of practicing medicine, and leaving a legacies that inspires others. I asking for your help on this journey.
Sincerely,
xxxxxxxxxx
