Here is the resume that I used upon graduating from PA School.
I am sharing this in hopes of helping others who are trying to decide what to include as part of a resume or curriculum vitae as a new graduate.
I have included downloadable Microsoft Word files below. You can download this sample resume for a discount when you share with a "like" or if you prefer it is available for a few bucks on my resume download page.
