About this template
The Medicine & Health Sciences template is an academic CV in Crimson Text with a clinical-blue accent. Dedicated sections cover clinical rotations, peer-reviewed publications, certifications (USMLE Step 1/2/3, PLAB, French ECN), languages and licences — the full academic record at a glance. The layout parses through Workday, Interfolio, AcademicJobsOnline, ERAS for US residency Match, Oriel for UK Specialty Training, and the French e-CV CNG platform for CHU hospital-university recruitment.
Who is it for?
It fits physicians applying for hospital-university lectureships and Praticien Hospitalier Universitaire (PHU) positions, residents and fellows in the final stretch of training competing for MCU-PH or clinical instructor roles, researchers in life sciences (Inserm postdocs, CNRS section 24, NIH-funded labs), candidates for the US Residency Match (ERAS) or UK Specialty Training, and clinician-scientists in pharma R&D competing for sponsored chairs.
How to use it
Six blocks structure the document — Education and degrees (USMLE scores, ECN rank, PLAB), Clinical rotations (reverse-chronological with specialty, hospital, supervisor), Research and publications (with impact factor and JCR quartile), Certifications and licences (state medical board, GMC, ABMS, French Conseil de l'Ordre), Technical skills and procedures (mastered invasive procedures), Teaching and supervision. For international applications, attach academic equivalences and ECFMG when relevant. Useful long-tail queries: 'medical resident academic CV', 'PhD biomedical research resume', 'USMLE Match application CV', 'PHU concours CV', 'physician-scientist tenure-track CV'.
Frequently asked questions
Should I list USMLE scores and French ECN rank?
Yes for early-career profiles (first five years post-residency). USMLE Step 1, Step 2 CK and Step 3 scores are indispensable for the US Match and remain reviewed by ABMS for fellowships. French ECN rank counts for residency placement and competitive CHU appointments. Beyond five years of practice, ECN rank is relativised by publications and clinical responsibilities — let the publication list and rotation depth carry the weight.
How do I list invasive procedures and technical skills?
Use a 'Technical skills and procedures' block listing mastered procedures with indicative volumes (for example 'central venous catheter placement: > 50 cases', 'diagnostic upper GI endoscopies: > 200 cases'). For surgeons, list main operations with annual count as primary operator and count as assistant. For the US Match, these volumes weigh into the program director's letter and matter for procedural specialties (anaesthesiology, surgery, interventional radiology, gastroenterology).
How do I balance clinical activity and research in a CHU profile?
For PHU profiles, the expected ratio is 50/50, so balance the page real estate accordingly. French CNU section committees value publications in Q1 journals (NEJM, Lancet, JAMA, BMJ, Nature Medicine) more than raw output volume, and clinical responsibilities (head of department, coordinator, referring physician) carry as much weight as a chair for a PU-PH position. State both volumes and responsibilities explicitly.
