I have nothing to add to my CV.

it's pretty blank.

my last extracurricular was back in undergrad. No one will care about that.


Do people ever add away rotations on their CV to beef it up?
I've done a few, but they are hardly distinctions in my record.

as of now, my CV has neither quality nor quantity.

I think that's scraping the bottom of the barrel.

 

[ranmyaku]

Is there even a section in ERAS that you could do that?

It's never too late to become a Lackawanna County Volunteer sheriff.

Or an assistant TO the regional manager.

Just make stuff up.

Here, let me help you out:

You are as of now a grandmaster in chess and a unicyclist for cirque de soleil.

You're welcome.

What if PD happens to be a grandmaster in chess as well!

Then he will pull out a board at the interview and the OP is SOL. Never list anything you can't back up.

Gain access to this.

Let IBM's Big Blue map out the chess moves for you.

Relay it into the hidden earbud you have stashed away.

Crush the PD.

Reap the rewards.

I have a classmate who went online and joined AMA and a couple other professional organizations, just for filler. My CV is probably just as blank, but I figure if it's something that I can accomplish in one evening in front of the computer, it's probably not worth doing in the first place...

Wasn't much of a tail anyway...

I was wondering if we should place in our CAF (or any part of our application) CME credits that we've earned?

Is it even worth mentioning?

Prolly not, since most states do not require CMEs until you complete residency/fellowship. I don't see that it would be helpful for your application.

Appreciate the prompt reply Winged Scapula. Thank you 🙂

I would guess there are literally thousands of organizations you can join online with the click of a button. Dozens that are healthcare related, many more others. I kind of doubt even AMA or AMSA membership (without an office) provides much value/interest, let alone the fact that you are a card carrying member of travel agents of America or the Yoda fan club.
