Ok heres, my situation. I am shadowing a doctor who who is involved with the medical school and he asked for a resume. This sounds embarrasing but my high school has never shown us how to prepare a resume or a curriculum vita. Does anybody have a sample that I can go by? The templates on microsoft's website are only for business resumes. I would appreciate it.
PS: I tried to search the forums but could not find anything. 🙂

Do a google search for "curriculum vita" & medical...you'll be able to pull up a number of examples.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a CV together that you can just update as you go along. You'll need it for various things during medical school and throughout your career. I recommend that you have a 1-pg version that is just the highlights and then as you get more items on your CV you can have a more complete version for situations that warrant all of the info.

Just for everyone's edification, it is "curriculum vitae." Vita is nominative, vitae is genitive, which means possession. It can roughly translated as "course of life."

Not that anyone really cares about Latin anymore, but it might help your google search to have it spelled correctly.

If you don't have research experience, ideally with presentations and publications, and are in high school, a resume will be more suited for your needs. A CV is something you can develop in college after getting research experience. if you do have research though and want an example of a cv, pm me your email address and I'm happy to share mine with you.
For example, a job like being a store clerk or whatever wouldn't go on your CV but is fine being on your resume at this stage.

That's why I generally stick with "CV" 😀

If you can make it over to a bookstore, there are plenty of books about how to make resumes for all sorts of professions.

In general, I've noticed that grad students and professors usually have CVs on their website, while undergrads have resumes.

Use microsoft resume wizard. And No, I'm not kidding.
