Dr. David Freiberg

Meredith Respiratory and Sleep Centre

Dear Dear Dr. Nadine Gogolla,

Hello! My name is 000, and I'm a first-year undergraduate student studying Medical Sciences at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). I am writing this letter to apply for an internship position as a polysomnography sleep technician at Meredith Respiratory and Sleep Centre. I feel that I have a certain understanding and clear understanding of the work of polysomnography sleep technicians, and I am very interested in the field of sleep therapy and related brain science research. I firmly believe that my knowledge base in relevant fields is sufficient to qualify me for this internship position.

According to a ResMed survey, 42 percent of Australians still feel tired when they first wake up, while only one in 10 Australians say they feel refreshed after waking up. More than 50 percent of Australians have said in surveys that stress has affected their sleep since the outbreak of COVID-19. According to the Mayo Clinic, sleep disorders can affect people's quality of life and overall health, and may even increase accident rates and reduce productivity on a macro level. Whether based on media reports from various places or based on actual experiences in life, we can all feel the increase in the total number and incidence of sleep disorders. In addition to the most common sleep deprivation, other sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, can also pose a significant health risk. The sleep disorder treatment market is promising. According to Data Bridge Industry Market Research's Strategic Analysis of Market Outlook and Investments report. The sleep disorder treatment market size is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8.9% from 2021 to 2029.

As a student who has suffered from insomnia for many years, and as a first-year undergraduate medical science student at UNSW who hopes to study neuroscience and participate in brain research in the future, I am eager to receive this internship to learn more about the routine work of a sleep specialist.

Internet sources illustrate that you have been practicing respiratory and sleep medicine in South West Sydney for more than 25 years and have made outstanding contributions to the development of this field. It is precisely because of your precise and in-depth clinical assessment that you can accurately diagnose and treat various sleep disorders, so you can receive such good ratings and reputation on Google Reviews. It is precisely because of your outstanding scientific research results and solid clinical practice experience that you are a Member of the Australasian Sleep Association and a Fellow of the Australian Medicolegal College (FAMLC). The Meredith Respiratory and Sleep Centres founded and led by you is widely recognized as one of the leading respiratory and sleep healthcare facilities and the largest breathing and sleep centre in South West Sydney as well. I was honored to have the opportunity to apply for a sleep therapy internship at the Meredith Respiratory and Sleep Centres' headquarter on Meredith Street, Bankstown, where you serve as Medical Director. I look forward to receiving training and mentoring under your leadership and collaborating with your team.

Polysomnography is one of the most advanced methods in the world for examining sleep conditions, sleep disorders, and sleep apnea syndromes, and plays an important role in diagnosing and responding to the diagnosis and treatment of all types of sleep disorder disorders ranging from insomnia to sleep apnea related disorders. It records key factors such as brain waves, blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, and breathing during sleep. Indicators are used to understand and diagnose the condition of patients with sleep disorders and to find countermeasures. Understanding the respiratory state during sleep is important for patients, which not only helps us to properly understand their sleep state, but may even prevent many of the deaths associated with sleep apnea disorders as well.

I have been very interested in biology since I went to high school in China. I have studied Chinese undergraduate courses such as "Chen Yuezeng General Biology(or Chen read by General Biology)" by myself, and I have also read "The Future of the Mind" by Dr. Michio Kaku in my spare time. These have sparked my interest in various cutting-edge brain sciences, and they have given me some insight into how EEG works, the stages of sleep, and the imaging characteristics of brain waves during various periods. As an alumnus of yours, I am now studying for a bachelor's degree in medicine at the University of New South Wales. During my first semester at UNSW, I studied biology and mathematics, mastered the use of RStudio, a very important statistical software, and learned its programming language. In my spare time in high school, I also learned programming languages like Python which required education. I believe this will also be helpful to my work with you.

Moreover, during my previous summer vacations in high school, I learned about first aid and some community care activities organized by my local Christian church and gained a certain understanding of how to care for patients both physically and mentally. In addition, I not only speak English, but I am also fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese. I'm sure it will help you treat patients in suburbs like Bankstown, which is very racially diverse, especially with a lot of immigrants from Hong Kong. This is great for communicating. Last but not least, I have a friendly personality, take criticism well, have a strong learning ability, and am very interested in the field of diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders which is closely related to my passion for brain science. I believe that I can humbly accept various guidance trainings under the training of your team and master all important skills related to polysomnography diagnosis, including learning to use the Alice sleep system under the training guidance of your team, and mastering some fundamentals of sleep medicine, etc. I look forward to and am happy to work with you to help all types of patients recover.

I plan to get involved in medical research after graduating from the University of New South Wales and engage in research related to brain science. The Meredith Respiratory and Sleep Centres under your leadership, an institution that accepts undergraduate students for training and internships, is the best option for me at this stage. I would undoubtedly be able to learn and gain more knowledge about polysomnography as it relates to brain sciences, and personally interact with patients to provide them with in-depth knowledge and care, diagnose them, and provide timely treatment. I am confident that I will be able to work together under the training of your team of trainers on how to operate and use the polysomnography instruments. Undoubtedly, my internship experience with you will not only give me valuable experience but will also deepen my familiarity with EEG and other charts related to brain sciences, as well as acquire more practical knowledge relevant to my future career, thus developing the essential skills I will need for my future research career. At the same time, this kind of experience will also bring me better communication and teamwork skills, as well as a lot of compensation. Overall, it will be a great honor to have the opportunity to serve in this role at the Meredith Respiratory and Sleep Centre.

I sincerely appreciate your attention to my internship application. It would be a privilege to be considered for an interview.

Best wishes,
