So one of the secondary applications I'm filling out asks about health care related experience I've had.

Is it ok to just take my CV, cut out all the activities non-health care related, and send that in as my response? My CV lists all my activities and then under them are some bulleted very short sentences of what my responsibilities were.

Also, I volunteer for an organization that provides crafts, cooking activities, etc for children in hospitals. Would that be considered health care related, even though I'm not even allowed to talk to the children about their condition?

Last question. If I have an abstract from research that will become a poster presentation at the AHA, how would I cite that on my CV?

Sorry for the long post and thanks for the help in advance!

I would put a little more effort into it. Copy & Paste won't really impress anyone. If you didn't have patient contact in some medical form it's not health care related experience.

Change the short bullet forms into short paragraph describing your activities would be better, but yeah, don't be lazy, put some effort in to change or improve. Yes, volunteering in a hospital would be consider health care related unless there is a 'volunteer' section, then use your own judgement. The abstract could go under your 'research' section or perhaps the 'achievement' section?
