Hi everyone,
I know that this isn't psychiatry specific, but as I would like to be a psychiatrist, I'm hoping you all can provide the best advice.
I searched SDN and the internet high and low for examples of medical student CVs, and I couldn't find any from people in the US. I looked on the ERAS website to see what I should be working towards, but apparently ERAS isn't like the AMCAS in that there is not a standardized CV format. What sections should I have? Any good CV-making computer programs/templates that cater to med students or doctors in general?
My other questions regard how to categorize some new med school related experiences I have. I find difficult to use traditional CV guidelines for some of things I've done. For example, I have presented several posters now as I don't have time to write full papers. The abstracts are in the journal's supplemental section (eg Circulation. "My Cool Title", 2008;1xx :Sxxx-Sxxx) so I could list it with my actual publications, but that would seem to be stretching the word 'publication'. What do you think? On the other hand, the manuscripts were peer reviewed and I've only presented 3 posters so it would seem silly for them to have their own section.
Also, I have been a paid guest lecture at two hospitals as part of their CME training. I'm not sure where to list that either.
Any help would be appreciated! thanks
