I am a soon-to-be graduate of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry seeking a full-time position as an associate in your practice. I am available to begin work August 2005 and will be able to immediately become a productive member of your team. My current schooling enables me to be well-versed in new technological advances along with time-tested traditional dental techniques.

Throughout dental school, I have tutored gross anatomy, operative dentistry, endodontics, and prosthodontics. I am also furthering my education by volunteering at the Union Gospel Mission community outreach program operated through a satellite clinic equipped with the latest technology (including digital radiography and paperless charting). helped prepare me for the future of dentistry. Through my volunteer and work experiences, I have had exposure to many different demographic populations which, in turn, has provided me with a well-rounded view of dental care needs throughout the country.

After speaking to several of my mentors and alumni, I understand the difficulty you face in hiring the right person to fit into the culture and ideals of your practice. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss your practice needs and philosophies, and determine if I am the right match for your practice.
