CV Writing Style & Substance

When preparing your CV remember that this is a document that summarizes your accomplishments directly related to your academic and professional experiences.

Ask yourself the following questions when putting together your CV:
  • Is this information relevant? (i.e. Will it help me get a residency, internship, interview, etc?) Stick to your medical school accomplishments and avoid listing too much from your undergraduate years.
  • What accomplishments, qualities, strengths do I want to emphasize and why?
  • Am I being clear and concise? Remember, your CV should only be one or two pages, so be sure to keep descriptions to a minimum.
