Second, it should be directed toward the type of practice or program you wish to join and your future goals. A properly prepared CV may take a long time to complete.

The experience section follows, which is usually prepared in reverse chronological order with the most recent achievements stated first. Follow each listing with a descriptive paragraph outlining the focus of your studies. The most recent programs should have the most detail, including major areas of academic study and clinical experience. Specific techniques, skills, or equipment with which you are familiar should also be mentioned. Don't hesitate to list special experience or training in clinical areas of particular interest to you.
