C.V. SUGGESTIONS (continued)
Employment
- For employment, training and
education, use reverse chronology; i.e. start with your present
position.
- List employer's name, or name of
practice, or hospital affiliation. Include dates. If you are in an
academic position, list your responsibilities.
- Do not include non-medical jobs,
unless they explain a break in dates. Employers look for gaps in
the time sequence. Any "missing" years, such a a gap
between medical school and residency might be explained be an
employment entry. The gap can also be explained in a cover letter
(Were you traveling, caring for a family?)
Education and Training
- Start with training. Again, reverse
chronology. If you did a fellowship, list type, name of
institution, location and dates. Next is residency - department,
institution, location, dates. If you did an internship, list that
in the same way. Do not list your training under
"Employment" (even though you were paid).
- Next comes your medical school and
any other graduate education. Include institution, location,
years, and degree(s) earned.
- Undergraduate follows the same
pattern. You can list your major if you wish.
- High school is optional. If you are
an immigrant or a second-generation U.S. citizen with a
traditional or ethnic name, you may want to include high school
information to convey longevity in this country.
Honors and Awards
- It is sometimes difficult to figure
out where to list your accolades. They don't really belong under
"Education and Training." I think, especially if you
have several, that they deserve a separate section. You may want
to put them in sub-sections according to time sequence: current,
residency, medical school, undergraduate.
Licensure
- List the states in which you hold a
license. If you have inactive licensure in other states, so
indicate. You do not need to include license numbers.
Certification
- If you are Board Certified, give the
year of your certification.
- If you are scheduled for oral
Boards, give the date you will be taking the exam.
- Don't bother saying you have passed
various steps of the USMLE. You wouldn't be sending out a C.V. if
you had not.
