I have thought about this today, and with the ERAS system, for an initial application, you don't need a CV. The way that you enter the information in the application, it prints the CV from that information.
Okay - for those that do need a CV, let's figure this out logically:
Contact information - top of the page. Let's not make it too fancy and keep it easy to read.
What are you applying for? One line: To find the best residency program... (complete this sentence)
Post Graduate information: Especially important if you have worked since graduation.
Medical School: What name, location, date of graduation and degree awarded.
Prior Education: Stop at High School. Prior to that will mean nothing to the program director
Research: especially if it's been published.
Licensure/Associations
Interests
You don't need to put in that you are married, 26 years old, etc. The PD can ask you if interested.
I was looking for some old notes that I had, and I still am looking (you don't want to know what the desk looks like), but I hope that this gives you a start.
