Healthcare Resume

Healthcare organizations are increasingly sensitive to cost control and productivity. A healthcare resume must reflect an understanding of these changes. It must show evidence of skills, experience, commitment to quality and an ability to evaluate yourself.

The healthcare professional should list all credentials, but not necessarily boast about the achievements. Typical headings in a healthcare resume include education/degrees, internships, professional experience, awards and honors, publications (books, articles, reports, journals), speaking engagements, conferences and professional affiliations.

Describe your skills using job related keywords. For example, Computer/Tech skills like software and program expertise, especially if it is related to healthcare. Your technical skills can be listed in a separate Technical Summary section or within the context of another achievement. For example, 'developed and implemented patient status/tracking system using MS Access'.

Experience :

When describing your work history and achievements, use in abundance, the buzzwords and/or keywords to get noticed :

Clinical skills/experiences Collaboration examples Community service/volunteer activities Computer technology Creative abilities/experience Decision making skills Methods of providing disease prevention Participating in multidisciplinary rounds Patient progress (give examples) Patient/Family education (give examples) Plan of care (include specifics) Professional development activities Project development (examples) Providing care according to state practice acts Providing emotional support (how did you do it) Research conducted/specific projects Responsibilities Skills gained or enhanced (clinical/related) Supervision experience

Include software and program expertise, if it is related to healthcare. Your technical skills can be listed in a separate Technical Summary section or within the context of another achievement. For example, 'developed and implemented patient status/tracking system using MS Access'.

Some points to be kept in mind are :

• Don't use too many Industry-Specific Initials
• Show your clinical skills as well as any other administrative or managerial skills you have.
• Highlight your accomplishments and unusual experiences. It's not necessary to detail your daily duties.
• If you did the same job at multiple hospitals, there's no need to list every single one. Put them all under one heading and describe your duties.
• List pertinent education, but not necessarily every conference you've attended.
• Include experiences you've had other than in the healthcare field. This will help show your diversity.
