Andrew0568 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 For your resumes are you including descriptions of your clinical rotations and detailing roles and responsibilities? Or are you just listing the dates and locations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beattie228 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Just dates, speciality/area of medicine, and location will suffice. You're resume will quickly look cluttered if you start listing what your roles were on each team. It's understood what a student does in the different areas but you can certainly further expand in your cover letter if you did something during one of the rotations that you'd like to point out.

south Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I just listed them with bullets, no details. The easier something is to read, the easier it is to read. You know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted March 14, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 14, 2017 For the first job for a new grad it might not be a bad idea to at least list some of the procedures, for example: Urgent Care rotation, St Joseph Hospital , March 2017-April 2017 Evaluated and treated patients with typical UC concerns, splinted, sutured, I+D of abscesses, fracture reduction, FB removals, slit lamp use, removal of ingrown toenails performed.

south Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 ^^^ yeah, even in other parts of your resume, include anything that may help you stand out and get hired and leave off if not. For instance, if applying to a job in ED or UC, include the above statement in that rotation and fill in similar statement any other rotation. But don't fill in your (for instance) OB/GYN or Psych duties unless also highly relevant. Always towards the goal without fluff or distractions I just listed mine because they were essentially unhelpful to me despite my best efforts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA2016! Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 As a new graduate I would list as much as possible!!! It will help you stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted March 19, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 19, 2017 when I review CVs I also place a lot of emphasis on what folks did before PA school. all else being equal, If applying for an EM job I will take the paramedic with 5 years experience before the cna or scribe with 100 hours of experience.

greenmood Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I listed details of the rotations on my CV. As EMED suggested, you should also consider listing details of your roles prior to PA school. For me that was significant, and I ended up at a higher starting salary for having relevant experience in direct patient care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
