I am a citizen of the United States and am studying the Doctor of Medicine which is delivered with collaboration from both The University of Queensland and also Ochsner University in New Orleans. As part of my degree, at the conclusion of my first year of theoretical studies we must complete a 4 week observership with a registered Medical Practitioner or Allied Health Professional in a clinical setting within Australia.\nAs part of this observership we are given the opportunity to shadow a medical professional in a discipline of medicine of our choice. I am aware that to date I have only completed 1 year of study towards my medical degree, but this opportunity will provide me with valuable experience to help me decide which discipline/s I would like to focus on heading into the clinical years of my program.\nWhile I understand that this is a large investment of time, as I must attend Monday to Friday (min of 20 hours per week) for 4 weeks, I am sincerely hoping that you might consider allowing me to undertake this at your practice.  I would be extremely grateful if you would consider my request.\nI have attached a copy of the Supervisor Guidebook, which outlines the major requirements of the observership.  As a rule, supervisors are requested to complete a Supervisor Evaluation Form, which includes questions around my attendance, professionalism, interpersonal skills etc. There are no formative assessment requirements that need to be undertaken during this placement.\nI am also happy to provide you with my CV and a Letter of Good Standing from the University, if this is required.\nInsert only if requesting an Australian GP – remove otherwise\nThe Clinical Placements team have also advised us that General Practitioners within Australia can include this supervision towards their Professional Development and may also be eligible for a Government payment.
