Additional Information:
Dear Human Resource Director:

I have developed a profound interest in the potential for
information technology to revolutionize the health care industry.
This is the impetus for submitting my resume for your consideration.

It will become apparent as you review my qualifications that a 25-
year career as a medical professional, numerous leadership positions
and additional educational experiences have uniquely prepared me for
a role in the development, evaluation and implementation of new
information technologies.

As a practicing physician, I fully understand the barriers to IT
acceptance. The reluctance of physicians to change well-established
and efficient routines requires new workflows and data input
mechanisms that are natural and unobtrusive. I know how physicians
and patients think and I understand how the system works. My MBA and
management responsibilities provide extensive experience in business
processes, financial analyses, team functioning, project management
and electronic technologies. A personal interest and a formal
Graduate Certificate in Health Informatics will be instrumental in
any effort to further the use of IT in a health care environment.

In short, I believe that I can add significant value to any
organization developing and implementing new health care-related
information technologies and look forward to being intimately
involved in that process. I look forward to speaking with you to
discuss how I can make positive contributions to the team at your
company.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Sincerely,

Glenn B. Charlton, M.D., MBA
