ATTN: Jill Byerly, DPT 3200 Providence Drive Anchorage, Alaska 99508 Dear Ms. Jill Byerly, I was elated to see the position for a full time physical therapist at Providence Alaska Medical Center posted on the Providence Health System website. In May of 2015, I will graduate from the University of North Dakota as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and would be thrilled to return to my home state of Alaska and accept my first position as a physical therapist at Providence Alaska Medical Center. As you can see on my resume attached to this document, I was able to experience a well-rounded clinical education while completing my degree at the University of North Dakota. During each of these affiliations, I acquired the art of connecting with patients on a personal level and building strong rapport as soon as they step into the clinic, embraced the role that family & function play in evaluation and intervention regardless of the diagnosis, and upheld my professional philosophy that every patient deserves my best, every time. While I may have spent the past few years completing my education out of state, it has always been my desire to return to the beautiful state that has given me so many unique experiences. I look forward to utilizing the knowledge and skills that I have acquired while away to benefit the future of Alaska. In addition, I strongly believe that my personal and professional values align with those of Providence Health System- justice for the vulnerable, excellence in all that I do, stewardship of all that I am given and compassion for all that I encounter. For more information concerning my clinical or professional experience, my resume has been enclosed with this document. I may also be contacted via cellphone at (530)-718-6475 or through email at [email protected]. I look forward to an interview to discuss the possibility of employment at Providence Alaska Medical Center. Your time and consideration are greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Kjersten Skjold, SPT |
