CV Building

Source: AAMC Careers in Medicine

A curriculum vitae (CV) is a summary of your background and accomplishments related to your academic and work experience. It’s one of many supporting documents you'll need for the residency application process or to apply to research experiences, scholarships, honor societies, and other medical school opportunities.

Creating a CV takes time, but it’s a tool physicians use throughout their professional life to present a complete but succinct summary and highlight of their qualifications. It’s a living document that represents you. Properly constructed and with periodic updates, the CV you develop now will evolve throughout your career.
