If you do not have experience working with HIV patients, share any experience you think may complement a role in this specialty.
"I read about the AIDS and Retrovirology clinic on the Texas Children's Hospital website. I think it takes great compassion to work with infants and children affected by such a cruel diagnosis. I have never worked with HIV or AIDS patients exclusively, but I have had some patients who were diagnosed with one or the other. I would enjoy working in a specialty like this because I love learning and seeing how medical advancements are achieved and then put into action to provide better care."
"At my previous employment, I worked in an infectious disease clinic three days a week and saw many HIV patients. It is amazing how many new strains of viruses are discovered and the relentless enthusiasm with which medical providers seek cures. I would love to see this clinic and hear of any opportunities for employment there are."
