Dear Ms. Barrett:
I am a senior healthcare management student at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. As a
requirement of my bachelors degree program in healthcare management, I am expected to participate in an
internship at a healthcare facility to gain first-hand experience with departments or individual supervisors
that perform management duties. I would like to fulfill my requirement at your facility by performing 6
semester credit hours, which equates 20 hours per week throughout the spring semester of 2016.
I have a strong desire to work in a healthcare setting and would be willing to work with one or more
departments throughout my 15 weeks to gain an overview of the different divisions that are necessary to
meet the needs of the staffing and to provide quality patient care services. To work with Department
Directors or mid-level or upper-level executives would be a great opportunity for me. I am most interested in
the health care areas of rehabilitation and assistant care if any of these areas might be an option for my
internship. I am enclosing my resume for your review. I will contact your office within a couple of weeks to
see if we can arrange a meeting to discuss my request to complete my internship experience with someone in
your agency. Should you prefer to contact me, I can be reached at (309) 648-5781 or you may email me at
the following address: shakala.hart@siu.edu. Thank you for your attention to my letter.
Respectfully yours,

Shakala Hart
