Updating my CV - I serve a peer-reviewer for some journals - I was wondering if anyone else did this - and how they list it on your CV? this is not a paid position, just something to add a little fluff to my CV, and I actually enjoy doing it.

This is what I put - and I put it after my current job - since it is unpaid - the problem is that I have worked here for 15 years in four different positions, so it falls fairly low on my CV< and from my experience, it likely will get overlooked.

thoughts?

Service. Also list voluntary and other committee experience (P&T, ER Safety, etc.) here.

Also, reviewer is understood to be a volunteer position, so don't write as such. Editor is different as there are both service (voluntary) and work experience (paid) versions.
 
Yeah, I would list it for internal promotion and tenure stuff, but would omit it from the CV.
I actually would put it in the CV, given how status conscious those clinical pharmacists are nowadays with collectables. I used to have that opinion until I found out how a couple of (meaningless) titles can get PharmDs to work for $40k less.
