Important generic content for the resume includes:

• Name, title, address, phone, E-mail
• Professional licensure & certification
• Education listing the year, degree, & institution
• Professional work experience listing the month & year, position, & institution
• Professional organizations listing the year, organization, & offices held
• Research activities & grant funding
• Publications & patient teaching materials
• Presentations
• References

For those who have a shorter work experience, you might list student internships and volunteer experiences. For those with longer work experiences, you might group/condense earlier experiences that contribute less to your current focus & expertise (rather than listing out every position separately). Be sure to spell out all abbreviations. Be sure you ask all prospective reference individuals their permission to be contacted for a reference. If you already have a resume, consider different ways of presenting it to best represent you. Take a look at this Web site and resume/curriculum vitae examples for more great ideas.
