Physician Assistant Application Letter
July 21, 2017
Dear Program Director,
It is my pleasure to write in support of the application of Ms. Sharene Zayed for your Physician Assistant Program. I attended the LSU New Orleans Physician Assistant Program and am now practicing in palliative medicine at Ochsner Medical Center. I worked closely with Ms. Zayed when she shadowed me at the hospital. I will focus on my experiences with Ms. Zayed which demonstrates the qualities necessary for your program: strong knowledge base, motivation, leadership, professionalism, and compassion. I observed Ms. Zayed in the inpatient setting.

In addition to considerable intellect, evident by her choice of pre medicine major and chemistry minor, a cum laude graduate, and membership to several honor societies,

    Once a physician assistant gains acceptance into a residency program they embark on another six to twenty-four month journey pending on the program and chosen specialty. However, the length of most of these programs is around 12 months. The majority of residency programs provide a broad variety of didactic and clinical education. This is a key factor for those that choose the residency route in continuing education as a PA, as opposed to just attending medical conferences and other meetings that most physician assistants do once they are employed (Polansky, Garver, Wilson, Pugh, & Hilton, 2012). According to Ballweg et al., (2013), “residents estimated their total number of hours of didactic education associated with the residency program they attended to be 350.4 hours for…

    There are many organizations that physician assistants can join to connect with other physician assistants and keep up with current issues taking place in the profession. The American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) is a national professional organization for physician assistants that practice in the United States.1 The AAPA represents 108,500 certified physician assistants throughout the country.2 For members, tools and resources are provided to further improve the quality and accessibility of health care. This organization holds annual conferences across the country for physician assistants (this year the annual conference will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada).3 I believe it would be beneficial for me to join this organization when I am practicing as a physician assistant because I will be able to connect with many physician assistants from across the country as well as learn about issues in my field and how to improve the quality of care given.

    On February 8, 2016 I was able to get a chance and interview Griselda Carreon, who is a Medical Assistant at Dr. Sosa Fernando MD, PA Clinic. During the interview I was able to learn much more information about what it takes to become a Medical Assistant.

Griselda was able to share with me what she does on a daily basis, and these consists of answering phone calls, scheduling appointments, checking fax, sending prescriptions, and of course making referrals. She said there is never a day where the clinic is slow, instead…

    My goals for residency are simple – to continuously learn in order to educate and heal. Although I have been involved in the community in various ways for many years, I am truly excited to start giving back to society from a different perspective – that of a physician, of a person’s first stop in their most vulnerable of times. Family Medicine is a broad field that will challenge me in many ways, but I am ready to enhance my knowledge in a program that fosters learning through a supportive, team approach where patients and their futures are the greatest concerns.…
