Physician resume example

A strong physician summary reads like this. Swap in your own numbers and settings:

Board certified internal medicine physician with eight years of inpatient and outpatient practice. Currently a hospitalist at a 300 bed community hospital, carrying a daily census of 15 to 18 patients and handling admissions, rounding, discharges, and cross cover. Comfortable in Epic and Cerner, with active licenses in two states. Looking for a hospitalist or primary care role with a stable schedule.

Skills recruiters search for

These are the terms recruiters and ATS filters look for on a physician resume. Use the ones that are true for you:

Board certificationInpatient careOutpatient carePatient census managementEpicCernerClinical documentationICD-10 and CPT codingQuality metricsCare coordinationResident and student teachingTelemedicineMulti-state licensureUtilization review

How to list your credentials

Put MD or DO after your name. List board certification with the specialty and each active state medical license on its own line in a credentials section, and name the state for every license.

Resume tips for physicians

  • Physicians usually need a CV and a resume. Keep a full CV for hospitals and academic roles, and a shorter two page version for everything else.
  • Put licensure and board status near the top. Recruiters check it first because credentialing timelines drive start dates.
  • Give numbers for your practice. Daily census or panel size tells a recruiter more than any adjective.
  • List your EMR systems by name. Epic experience is a search filter for a lot of recruiters.
  • Account for every gap since residency. Credentialing will surface them anyway, and a one line explanation saves a phone call.
  • Skip duties every physician has. Name your case mix and the procedures you actually do.
