Resume for Doctor — MBBS, MD, and Specialists
Medical CVs in India are detailed by tradition — covering education, registrations, clinical experience, surgical case load, publications, and conferences. Pika gives you the comprehensive medical CV format Indian hospitals and recruiters expect.
Medical CV Format in India
Doctor CVs run longer than typical resumes — 3-5 pages is normal. Lead with Personal Details (with MCI/state council registration number). Then Educational Qualifications in detail (MBBS, MD, DM, fellowships — institute, year, percentage/rank). Clinical Experience by hospital and department. Procedures Performed (especially for surgical specialties — case counts matter). Publications. Conferences/Workshops. Memberships (IMA, specialty associations).
Resume for MBBS Freshers
Lead with Personal Details + MCI registration. Educational Qualifications (10th, 12th, MBBS — institute, year, marks). Internship details (rotation departments, hospital, duration). Clinical/Practical Skills (procedures observed/assisted/performed). Research/Projects from MBBS years. Conferences attended. Plans for postgraduate study (NEET-PG, target specialisation).
Specialist and Senior Consultant CVs
Highlight your subspecialty (cardiology, neurology, orthopaedics, oncology, etc.). List clinical procedures with case volumes ("performed 1,200+ angioplasties"). Include teaching experience if you train residents. Add publications with PubMed/citation links. List grants and research projects. Mention positions held (HOD, unit head, programme director).
Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a doctor's CV be?
3-5 pages for specialists with publications and procedures. 2 pages for MBBS freshers. Length is acceptable in medical CVs as long as content is substantive.
Should I include patient testimonials?
Generally no. List clinical outcomes and recognised cases instead. Patient testimonials are not standard in Indian medical CVs.
How do I list clinical procedures and case counts?
Create a separate "Procedures Performed" section. Group by category and include approximate case counts ("Coronary Angiography: 800+ cases", "PCI: 400+ cases"). Be honest — interviewers verify.
