Sample Medical
Resume
When writing a medical resume it is generally better to utilize a
chronological resume format.
Only under
select conditions should a functional
resume format be utilized.
A new graduate or an individual returning to the field might consider
using a functional resume format instead.
The medical resume example below is written using a chronological
resume format.

The sample medical assistant resume above allows the job applicant to
focus on strong professional experience and education. Keep in mind the
functional resume focuses on skills; however, does not typically
demonstrate strong continuous work experience.
The job applicant could also list other
sections of interest
on this resume format such as notable accomplishments, honors and
awards. Community activities would also be particularly appropriate,
considering the field.
