Questions
Which courses should be on an emergency medicine CV?
ACLS, ATLS and APLS are the usual ones. Add point-of-care ultrasound or sedation training if you have it, with the date you completed each course.
How do I describe ED experience?
Give the annual attendances or department type, your grade and the areas you covered, such as resus, majors or minor injuries. Numbers of patients per shift and procedures performed make it concrete.
Does quality improvement matter for ED jobs?
Yes. Departments are measured on patient experience times, so a project that improved flow, triage or handover is strong evidence. Say what changed and by how much.
