Audit projects

I've done 5 or 6 clinical audit projects over the years and mostly presented them at hospital departmental level (ie compliance with international guidelines on investigations, prescribing etc).

Would these be worth listing? On my UK CV, I have a separate 'clinical audit' section. For UK job applications, clinical improvement projects are probably worth more than 'real' research but I suspect not in the US.

If I list them would I just call them a research experience? They were audit not research and I don't want to look as though I'm padding. I could list them all as one or separately.

I have 6 other research experiences I'll be listing (some individual projects and some compilations of projects done with the same PI).

I'd be grateful for any advice.

I would not bother mentioning them unless you published or presented the findings somewhere in which case it could go in the publications section. If there was a major audit or one where you closed the loop you could mention it in your work experiences section (would just put under the F1 or F2 job) mentioning 'quality improvement' which seems to be what audit is here, it only just seems to be making its way in the US.

I'm in the same boat - Uk grad, F1, F2 done etc...

Where is the best place on ERAS to say about ATLS? Is it work expericence? Is it education and training?

Any thoughts gratefully received. Ta.

It is irrelevant.

Thanks for the reply Splik! Any differing opinions out there or do others agree to leave them out?

Thanks!

You could certainly list them as a work experience. If you do, I'd consider putting them all in one entry -- i.e. worked on 5 audit projects examining .....
