A curriculum vitae (CV for short) is a document written for potential employers covering pertinent information like name, educational background and work experience. A CV goes more in-depth than a resume by listing items such as research and presentation experience, published studies and accolades and hobbies.
Instructions
1. Display your name, address, phone number and email address. Give each item a new line. Then, write a small summary of your work experience thus far noting you are focused on advancing into your residency with vigor.
2. List all employment history. Take care to highlight the positions that qualify you all the more for a residency. Perhaps you have done several internships in preparation for the residency. Relay any professional qualifications that you have as well.
3. Write down your educational achievements, beginning with college. Give the time frame and the degree you earned. Include any other schooling that demonstrates your affinity for medicine. Maybe you won a fellowship to study medicine abroad for a year while in college. Include that here.
4. Mention any memberships or affiliations that could portray you in a positive light such as Future Pediatricians of America, or the local Rotary club in the town where you wish to do your residency.
5. Detail any published works or articles. Give the name of the journal and the date when it was published. Delve into the subject matter of the piece if appropriate. Chances are though that at this point you won't have published anything but there are those on accelerated tracks.
6. List any hobbies as well as useful skills such as you love bird watching and are bilingual. If you have received awards or praise for your work, you can say that as well.
