Hi all, Thank you for your previous help in recommending books. I have ordered a bunch and have just gotten into reading as the semester just ended for me. I wanted to reach out and ask if anyone could recommend any tips for putting together a CV? I have currently found this template (from APA)...

For 2024 residency applicants will only be able to list 10 experiences and select 3 most meaningful. What do people think about this change? In general I think it's a good change so that people aren't padding CVs with things like single day volunteer experiences, but there's the added headache...

I am in the process of updating my CV but had the question of when to start removing old stuff from it. I would think that my time volunteering as a cheerleading coach during undergrad will likely have no bearing on my residency application, but I wanted to get some feedback on when (time wise)...

Hi all! I'm current applying to post baccalaureate pre-med programs on the Postbac CAS and I have a question about experiences and our CV/Resume. I understand we're required to fill our the experiences and upload a CV/resume. I, however, don't quite understand the difference. Is it acceptable...

I have to update my CV for something I'm applying for and debating whether to include a couple of things. First, I was fortunate enough to receive merit scholarships from my school, but I'm not sure if I should include this on my CV for residency apps, etc. Second, is undergrad GPA something...

In my personal statement I talk (briefly, like 2-3 sentences) about a job I held in undergrad. I didn't include the job under ERAS's Work experience bc it just seemed like resume padding. However, I do think it adds a necessary wrinkle to my statement. Can anyone think of why this might be a...

Hello everyone, I'm a second year FM resident working on updating my CV for when I begin looking for a job as an attending. As a medical student, I failed two courses in second year and had to repeat the year, and therefore took 5 years to complete medical school. On my CV I have my dates listed...

Hi all! For those of you submitting an application to Columbia -- I had a question about the CV portion. Here are the directions: "Please upload a copy of your curriculum vitae or resume providing the following information: (a) List your experience related to occupational therapy including...

I know this is the opposite of what people usually have to deal with, but in my case the LOR writer wrote my letter waaaaaay sooner than I expected. Here's what happened... I am in a dual degree program so this is technically my 5th year in medical school. Last year (4th year) I was on an...

All, I've seen a few postings on this general topic, but none that specifically mentioned this scenario. I'm not always available to present my research, but I know that it's perfectly acceptable to list it on one's CV: Vader D, Skywalker L, and Hut JT. "In a galaxy far, far away." JAMA, 1:1...

I'm second author on a poster that has been presented multiple times by its first author. Should I list it on my CV and application? Or is it poor taste? I'm not familiar with the intricacies of research authorships, presentations and such, so if anyone has experience in this area, I would...

Hi. I am currently ending my second year of residency and will be looking for a post-residency job soon. I was wondering if, as potential employers, there are certain things you look for in a CV and certain things that aren't as important for us to include. Any help you could afford would...
