Speeches

Example 1

Hello, my name is Golda Starr. I have over 10 years of experience in the area of health

informatics, and a passion for helping organizations use technology to improve healthcare

delivery. For the past three years, I have been supporting and managing large phase four global

studies in neurology and oncology online, primarily in remote countries that are not able to

receive medication. I have researched many of these countries central ethics committees’ rules

and regulations so that other pharmaceutical companies are also able to conduct clinical trials

using ethical protocol. As a health professional, I feel a duty to help people who do not know

where to go for medical treatment and to develop tools that empower communities to improve

health delivery and research. My training in health informatics, combined with my B.S. in Health

Studies and international experience, have allowed me to develop technology and protocols that

have improved the lives of over 3000 individuals living around the world. I would appreciate the

opportunity to discuss future opportunities with your organization.

Example 2

Hello, my name is John Doe, and I’m completing my bachelor’s degree in healthcare

management at Walden University. I currently work as a patient advocate at Seattle Grace

Hospital, helping to navigate individuals through the maze of our U.S. healthcare system.

Improving health service delivery is my passion, and I’m hoping to find a position that will allow

me to maximize the skills and knowledge obtained in my bachelor’s degree combined with my 15

years of field experience to improve patient support and care. I am results oriented and have

managed several large projects associated with improving patient services, including developing

a “navigation guide” for those newly diagnosed with breast cancer. I have also served on

Seattle Grace’s Quality Service Delivery Task Force for the past three years and assisted with

developing and analyzing a large-scale patient care survey that was disseminated to over 12,000

patrons of Seattle Grace in the Fall of 2011. If you’re looking for someone to direct and develop

patient navigation support services for your organization, I’d love to talk more about this with

you.
