Letter of Intent

Hi there

                I am Talha Nawaz from Pakistan;currently final year medical student at KEMU Lahore.During my clinical education at largest Government hospital(Mayo Hospital Lahore) I have realized that there is high prevalence of gastrointestinal and infectious diseases in my region which contributes a major share to morbidity and mortality in our setup.It has drawn my enthusiasm to acquire clinical skills and learn advanced treatment modalities being offered at your setup so as to deal effectively with the concerned medical problems in my practice in near future after completing my education. I request you to provide me the opportunity to get this wonderful learning experience . thanks

hi..

this is regarding the nih application..in the academic information section they ask for student's phone number at school..is it ok if we mention our own mobile number???then in the same section they ask for student's address at school & in d column of state they mention (DC for washington DC)..what do we write there??

in the course work & grades section is it that we write the subject & pass in the grades??they also say to include the course work currently in progress..i am doing my internship..wat do i mention??

lastly they say to contact some Mr.vicki mallik if we are trying to apply sooner than the electronic application will allow..but i guess nih applications are accepted all the year round..please clarify me on this point..

I guess you are showered by compliments by the minute for the great work that you've been doing! You deserve all the applause!

In your reply to Tejaswi above, with regards to the NIH application, you mentioned that we need to contact the institute if the 2012 dates aren't published...

Are you actually saying that all the 2011 slots are already filled up?!
