So...I go to a school that requires its students to do research. I found two projects I'm interested in and emailed the PI's, asking to meet with them to talk about participating. They both asked for my CV, and said that they'd base their decision off of that. Aside from being a little cold/impersonal, I'm worried I about just sending them my CV because...I don't have one.
I have very, very little research experience to speak of, mostly just washing dishes and helping grad students. I've never had my own project, much less published. Basic science research was never my thing, and I never had the opportunity to participate in the type of clinical research I'm pursuing. All I really have is the type of stuff I'd put on a resume...volunteer experiences...a few odd jobs...service-related trips, basically the stuff I used to get in to med. school.
I have to send them something. As a med student, what should my CV include? My undergrad institution/grades/majors? EC's? Anybody ever in my position and have to pull this off? Maybe have an example or two?
