Dear Dr. Hamilton,

I am writing to express my sincere interest and intent to join the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Boston General Hospital as a member of the 2024 residency class. After thoroughly researching and participating in interviews with various programs, I am convinced that Boston General offers the ideal environment for my advanced training, aligning perfectly with my career aspirations and personal goals.

During my medical education at Boston University School of Medicine, I have developed a strong foundation in the principles of internal medicine, complemented by hands-on experience through clinical rotations. These experiences ignited my passion for patient-centered care and solidified my decision to pursue a career in internal medicine. I am particularly drawn to Boston General’s commitment to excellence in patient care, its innovative research opportunities, and its supportive learning environment.

What sets Boston General apart for me is its dedication to fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous learning among residents and faculty. I was especially impressed by the program’s approach to comprehensive patient care and its emphasis on integrating the latest research and technological advancements into clinical practice. Furthermore, the mentorship program and the diverse patient population that Boston General serves promise a rich, multifaceted educational experience.

I am eager to bring my dedication, work ethic, and passion for internal medicine to Boston General Hospital. I am committed to contributing to the hospital’s mission of providing exceptional care and advancing the field of internal medicine through research and innovation. I believe that my background and aspirations align well with the goals of your program, and I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to grow and develop as a physician under the guidance of your esteemed faculty.

Thank you for considering my application to your residency program. I am very much looking forward to the possibility of contributing to and learning from the renowned team at Boston General Hospital. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information or if there are additional steps I should take to confirm my interest.
