How to list research on resume?

[ASNMEMD]

Hey guys.

I'm currently working on the CCOM secondary, which requires a resume.

How do you guys think i should list my research experiences?

I currently have listed semi-detailed abstracts of my projects, without detailing techniques and personal responsibilities. Is this a mistake?

Heres an example of one entry:

Undergraduate Research Intern Sept 2012 – Present, Gary, IN
Student Doctor Network focus group (SDNfg)
SDN University Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

SDN protein Domain contributes to tumor suppressor stabilization

SDN protein and the other premed proteins MD and DO are regulatory transcriptional corepressors critical to cell cycle progression in human cells. SDN is a noted tumor suppressor which binds transcription factor MCAT to repress translation of cell cycle genes. Mutations in SDN disrupting this pathway contribute to a large variety of cancers. The SDN N-terminal domain (SDNN) interacts with the Grade Point Average (GPA) domain of MCAT transcription factors, promoting transcription of pro-apoptotic pathway genes. SDN-ΔSDNN mutants transfected into Osteopathic cells exhibited enhanced stability compared to wildtype SDN. The role of SDNN in SDN's relative intracellular abundance, tumor suppressor efficacy, nuclear localization, apoptotic induction efficacy, and protein interaction were studied. Paper pending peer review as of 06/2013

Mentors: ToTS M.D ,SDN university

Thanks for the input guys. Best of luck to us all!

IMO you should only list what is relevant to your part in the project... meaning your personal responsibilities, the techniques you used, your daily tasks, any presentations or posters you made.

I do not generally list "abstracts" as you have shown above in my CV/resume. A short 1 sentence description of what the project is about will suffice. Anything else is too detailed, especially for a medical school resume. If they want to know more about your project they'll ask you during the interview.

Hey thanks for your input. This was my personal project, and I was responsible for its planning and execution. I thought about including a list of techniques, but it would be ridiculously long considering the span of the project. I am considering just including something like "This was my personal project, and I was responsible for its planning and execution, including the implementation of all techniques necessary to obtain results from this study."

Also, I listed all my presentations in its own section later on in my resume because there were quite a bit and I wanted them to stand out.

Way too long and detailed for a resume.

No matter who you are, you resume should be 1 page. A CV is longer and more detailed. Resume is short and to the point.

Name of Lab/Hospital, Research subject, Dates
Position Title, PI of Lab, Department
- One to 3 quick bullet points about responsibilities and results

You should never write a full paragraph. Short/quick bullet points will do. Publications, presentations, abstracts, etc don't need an explanation. Just title, authors, date, location - that kind of thing.

CCOM will have your resume on hand and refer to it during the interview - they did at mine at least. You want their eyes to glance at it and ask you about key experiences - don't get people bogged down in a wall of text.

Why do they need a resume that will almost certainly just be a complete copy of your primary....
