Dear Jennifer,
My name is Mauli Patel, a final year student at Australia Catholic University, Master
of Public Health (MPH) and was pleased to learn about placement in your
organisation. I'm very motivated in ensuring that services delivered to customers
are to their satisfaction. In addition to my bachelor of physiotherapy and previous
work experience, I have work and interacted majorly with the disable individuals
and thus would welcome any opportunity to contribute towards their understanding
and satisfaction.
Previously, I have acquired clinical skills in working with other health professionals
for the betterment of the patients, which is a significant factor in this project. I have
also been able to understand more about patient and family education and to
conduct exercise groups which will be essential skills during the survey. Moreover, I
have gained some skills during my MPH studies which will be of great importance
and am looking forward to putting them into practice. These skills include the
assessment of the community needs, evaluating determinants of health and
applying the findings to the formulation of strategies for public health. Besides, I am
in a vivid position to work with an interdisciplinary team and the ability to analyse,
appraise and process evidence of public health research to inform the decision of
public health.
I decided to pursue a Masters in Public Health since I have a great passion for
working with the community and improving the general health of a community. It is
a great honour for me to serve a community and more so in matters pertaining to
health. I crave to see a healthy community where every member has better and
improved access to adequate healthcare. Therefore, I believe in getting to
1

understand the clients needs so as to address them in a better and customized
manner which leads to better satisfaction.
Therefore, I believe that being part of the project “Toward improving understanding
of NDIA customer satisfaction" will be of great importance not only to the
organization but also for my future career while working. I will be able to
understand the clients better, which will be of significant impact since this will make
me provide care to their satisfaction. I will be in a position to educate my colleagues
about the skills that I will acquire during the placement and hence making
community health better. I will be fully available for the placement, and no factors
are withholding me from participating in it.
For more information concerning my involvement in the field, please refer to the
brief of my resume attached below. Though it shows my career growth, experience
and skills, I am entirely interested in talking about my qualification and expertise in
detail. I shall be available for an interview anytime at your convenience.
I look forward to your humble and positive response towards the placement in the
organisation. I shall be most grateful if my application is considered favourably.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Mauli Patel.
