What sections belong on a physician CV?

A medical CV typically includes a header with credentials, a training timeline (medical school, residency, fellowship), board certifications, state licensure, hospital privileges, publications and presentations, and continuing medical education. This builder covers each of those.

How should I list residency and fellowship?

List the program or specialty, the institution, and the years, newest first. Residency and fellowship form the core training timeline that credentialing offices and hiring committees review closely.

What is the NPI number on a doctor's CV?

The National Provider Identifier is a unique 10-digit number assigned to US healthcare providers. Including it on a CV helps credentialing and verification, though you can omit it if you prefer not to publish it.

Why include CME credits?

Continuing medical education credits show you are maintaining licensure and staying current. Boards and employers often require a minimum number of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits per cycle, so listing your total signals compliance.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. The builder runs entirely in your browser and nothing is sent to a server. Download or copy your CV before closing the tab, because the data clears when you leave the page.

A physician CV built around the training timeline

A medical doctor’s CV is organised differently from other professions: the heart of it is a credential and training timeline that credentialing offices verify line by line. This builder structures medical school, residency, fellowship, board certifications, licensure, and CME into a clean, consistent document.

How it works

The header combines your name with credentials (MD, DO, FACP, etc.) and shows your specialty and NPI. The education and training block always renders medical school first, then each residency and fellowship newest-first, with the year range leading every entry — the chronological format credentialing bodies expect. Board certifications, licensure, and hospital privileges are free-text lists rendered as bullets so you can include issuing board, license number, and status. Publications and presentations are numbered. When you enter CME credits, the tool adds a section noting the total AMA PRA Category 1 Credits for the current cycle. Empty sections are dropped automatically.

Tips and example

Enter licensure as Massachusetts #12345 (active) so the state, number, and status are all captured. For board certifications, include the issuing board and year, e.g. ABIM — Cardiovascular Disease (2020). Keep training entries in year-range form like 2014–2017. The output is plain text that pastes cleanly into Word; use it as an accurate, well-ordered foundation, then apply your preferred template and verify every license and certification detail before submitting.
