About this template
The ATS Healthcare template uses a single-column layout in Source Sans 3, with clinical-blue section headers underlined by pale-blue rules. Calibrated for healthcare CVs that list rotations, certifications, licences and registration numbers — every item parser-safe. Compatible with healthcare ATS pipelines at academic medical centres (Workday at Johns Hopkins, Lawson at NHS Trusts), private hospital groups (HCA Healthcare, Tenet, AdventHealth) and pharmaceutical companies (Pfizer, Merck, Novartis, BMS).
Who is it for?
It fits registered nurses (RN, BSN, MSN), nurse practitioners (NP), physician assistants (PA), surgical technologists, radiology technologists, physical therapists (DPT), occupational therapists, allied health professionals, hospital administrators and clinical coordinators. Adapts to applications at academic medical centres, IDNs (integrated delivery networks), private hospital groups, NHS Trusts and skilled nursing facilities where every credential is closely examined.
How to use it
Mention the national provider identifier (NPI) and state licence numbers in the header — these are critical for credentialing and act as ATS filtering keywords. Build a 'Credentials and certifications' section listing degree, board certifications (NCLEX-RN, AANP, NCCPA), specialty certifications (CCRN, ACLS, BLS, PALS, CNOR) with dates and granting bodies. For hospital experience, structure by facility and by unit (ICU, telemetry, med-surg, OR, ED) with patient acuity and procedure volumes.
Frequently asked questions
Is the NPI mandatory on a healthcare CV?
For US providers, yes — it's expected and acts as a credentialing keyword for hospital and payer ATS pipelines. Include the 10-digit NPI in the header. For nurses, the licence number per state and the compact licensure (NLC) status matters. For NHS applicants in the UK, include the NMC PIN; for HCPC-regulated allied health, include the HCPC registration number with date of registration.
How do I present travel nursing and locum tenens work?
For travel nursing or locum tenens experience, create a separate section grouping assignments by date range with facility type, specialty unit and ratio. Indicate the agency (Aya Healthcare, Cross Country, MedPro) and the assignment length. Hospital recruiters value the breadth of facility exposure that travel nurses bring, particularly for ICU, ED and OR specialty units.
Should I list continuing education (CEUs)?
Yes for profiles 5+ years of experience. Create a 'Continuing education' section listing accredited programmes (ANCC-accredited, ACCME for physicians), category 1 hours, year and provider. For nurses pursuing advanced certification (CCRN, CEN, CPN, OCN), mention the certification with date of issuance and renewal — these unlock specialty unit assignments and command premium compensation.
