I just had a 3rd interview, this time with the partners of a large practice. I just wanted to know what is the best way to send a post interview thank you note/letter. I usually mail a hand written note to the person that interviews me. I had a panel interview with 5 people this evening and shadowed the NP for 1/2 the day. They all rotate different practice locations daily so I don't think mailing 5 thank you notes would work in this situation.
Any ideas?

Hi PedsNP!
I would say to send them all a personalized email thanking them for the opportunity to interview, etc... Before leaving an interview I always make sure I get a business card from each person that I interview with, and if the card isn't available I just write the contact info. down. This is a practice that I have used for years as I do know some articles do suggest handwriting and mailing letters. Sending a very professional email has always worked very well for me and I am sure has contributed to my being offered a position over other applicants. Good luck!
Hi Enfermera:
Thank you for your response. This is exactly what i did. And i got the job! So many people i asked, said emails are unprofessional. I just didn't see any other way to thank everyone and it worked in the end:)
