Frequently asked questions
Should I include my patient volume or RVU production?
Yes, if you have this data. Patient volume per shift, RVUs, or productivity metrics demonstrate your efficiency and experience level in the emergency department.
How do I list my emergency procedures?
Create a dedicated procedures section listing common EM procedures (intubations, central lines, chest tubes, etc.) with approximate numbers performed. Organize by category if you have many.
What certifications are most important to include?
ABEM board certification is essential. Also highlight ATLS, PALS, ACLS, ultrasound certifications, and any subspecialty certifications like toxicology or EMS medical direction.
Should I mention my shift schedule preferences?
You can include information about your experience with different shift structures (days, nights, weekends), but save specific schedule preferences for interviews.
How do I show my experience with different acuity levels?
Describe the types of facilities you've worked at (Level I trauma, community ED, rural ED, urgent care) and the patient populations served. This demonstrates your versatility.
