Tips for customizing:
- Replace all bracketed text with your specific details.
- Mention 1–2 skills or qualifications from the job posting to show fit.
- If you have quantifiable experience (e.g., number of clinical hours, types of procedures assisted), add it.
- Proofread and keep the letter to one page. Attach your resume and any certifications.

If you’d like, tell me:
- whether you’re a student or experienced,
- any certifications (CPR, radiography, CDA),
- clinic/externship details,
- the employer or job posting text,

and I’ll customize the letter for you.
