Hello! I was told to include under the publications heading of my CV an abstract presented at a conference by using the proceedings. I really have no idea how to go about doing that and haven't found much information online. Anybody knows how to do that? any sources where I can find the information on how to appropriately include that on my cv? any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks

On your CV you should have a section entitled something like "Presentations". I disagree that you should "count" as a publication the proceedings of a conference which lists your abstract.

There are several sources for formatting (I believe First Aid for the Match has some) but it would go something like this:

POSTERS AND PRESENTATIONS

2007 An assessment of third year medical student's knowledge after a focused clinical breast surgery experience.
Moderated Poster Presentation; Association for Surgical Education, National Conference,
April 11, 2007; Washington, D.C.

i feel proceedings that publish abstracts should be written under 'publications'...see below for details.

Abstract Publications: Abstract publication should be clearly identified as such. Unless the proceedings of a meeting at which you present results are published in a recognized journal (or supplement to a journal) or formally published in book form, then the abstract is not technically published and therefore should not be included in your CV An abstract book put together solely for the participants of a specific meeting/conference does not count as an "abstract" publication.
