so how much in detail are we supposed to write the 'Description' in 'Experience' section of CAF?

i have written just 2-3 lines....
are you mentioning ur training in work experience or previous training...
I submitted CAF on 1st sept... i wrote my training form internship till now in previous training as residency ... in work i mentioned my research and teaching experrience and also my volunteer and clinical attachment stuff....

I have been told that this is a mistake as i should have mentioned training in work exp as well... any ideas on this???

i doubt if it makes a difference. no PD has time to think that much on these issues

relax ,,its just a change of heading and nothing else...training wiill reamain training even if mentioned in work ex ..and work ex will seem like work ex even if mentioned in training..Your description of the job should be able to illustrate what you did ..

hmmm thats interesting.. there isno job description required in previous training section... all it requires us to fill in is post, specialty, supervisors and reason for leaving....i think i probably made a mistake..
