Residency & Career Advising

The advisors in the Center for Student Success work hand-in-hand with faculty and students to coordinate a wide range of career and match advising programs throughout the year. If you need help writing your CV or personal statement, completing a residency application, preparing for interviews, or selecting a specialty, we have workshops that can help! Our programs are designed specifically with D.O.s in mind and we aim to provide expert guidance to the physicians of the future.

Preparing Your Curriculum Vitae

Your curriculum vitae (also called a CV) will summarize your academic, employment and extracurricular experiences. You will be adding to your CV throughout your professional career so now is a good time to write one if you have not already done so.

There are many resources available to help you prepare your CV. We encourage you to:

  • Access CV writing resources on Canvas. 
  • Participate in a CV writing workshop. We offer them for first- through third-year students during the year.
  • Make an appointment with your Center for Student Success advisor if you need assistance creating your CV.
  • Submit your CV to somcv@rowan.edu for review during the spring semester of your third year.
