Curriculum Vitae

Different institutions can request your CV in different formats. You will find you'll need a CV for scholarship, externship, fellowship, and other applications in your medical student years. When you are an M4, the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) generates a CV for residency directors from the information you provide. You will still, however, need a separately formatted hard-copy CV for interviewing.
