Medical secretaries have daily tasks that mirror those of other administrative roles yet have distinct duties as well. Medical secretaries work closely with physicians, nurses, medical support personnel, and patients. Medical practitioners fall under general practice or are specialized in a specific medical area.
It’s important when writing your cover letter to include details of your background relevant to each medical facility — note any involvement relative to medical terminology, patient care, transcription, emergency response, and community involvement (reflects compassion and interest in others, which I feel is important when hiring individuals who will have constant contact with patients).
Skills typically seen for Medical Secretary Jobs:
- Executive/Personal Assistance
- Client Communications
- Front-Office Medical Office Reception
- Patient/Insurance Billing
- Medical Records Management
- Meeting/Travel Arrangements
- Patient Scheduling

RE:
Dear Mr(s).______________:
Certainly possessing the right mixture of skills and qualifications is critical to securing this job; therefore, indulge me as I provide details matching such while outlining those possessed that go beyond the job description.
The medical secretary field is an area I have enjoyed for many years. Throughout those years, I’ve not only taken a compassionate approach to patients visiting the imaging center. Adding to my administrative/office management tasks, I also assist the Medical Program Administrator with development and delivering high-quality and high-value programs.
I easily slip in and out of lead medical office roles, matching the skills and qualifications required by your company. My approach to office administration has resulted in recognition from colleagues and superiors … in fact, I’ve continuously served some of the top medical minds here at BCI Imaging. I definitely enjoy wearing the “many hats” that go along with secretarial and office management roles.
Overall, I enjoy working with patients while guiding colleagues to become more productive and active within the medical community. Do you have a few minutes so we can speak? Call me at (xxx) xxx-xxxx when available.
Sincerely,
Janee Slofiv
