Frequently asked questions
How should I separate peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed work?
Use clearly labeled publication subsections (peer-reviewed manuscripts, reviews, chapters, abstracts, and other works) so committees can quickly assess scholarly rigor and output.
Should teaching evaluations be included in the CV?
Include concise teaching metrics and outcomes in your teaching section. Detailed evaluations can be provided in an accompanying educator portfolio if requested.
What service activities matter most for academic review?
Document institutional committees, journal reviewing, professional society leadership, and mentorship roles, especially those with measurable outcomes or sustained involvement.
Do I need to list grants where I am co-investigator?
Yes, include funded grants where you served as PI, co-PI, or co-investigator, and specify your role to clarify contribution and leadership.
How is this different from the AAMC template?
This template is a streamlined academic format for broad faculty use, while the AAMC template is the most comprehensive option for institutions requiring strict AAMC-style detail.
