Additional Statement of Interest
- I am deeply interested in dermatology and surgical care due to both personal and academic experiences. Having managed eczema myself, I understand the physical and emotional impact that skin conditions can have on daily life. This has strengthened my empathy and desire to provide thoughtful, attentive care to patients.
- Through my CNA training, I gained firsthand experience supporting patients with essential daily care needs and learned the importance of being fully present, attentive, and dependable in vulnerable moments. I value clear communication, patient dignity, and teamwork in clinical settings, and I am committed to continuously learning and improving my skills.
- I am especially eager for the opportunity to work in a surgical dermatology setting, where I can observe and assist in procedures such as Mohs surgery, expand my clinical knowledge, and contribute positively to both patient outcomes and team efficiency. I am motivated, reliable, and genuinely passionate about helping others feel more comfortable, confident, and cared for.
