Hello! I am a new M1 student and am interested in getting involved in research with a specific physician affiliated with my institution. I plan to speak to them soon and to have my resume on hand in case they ask for it before deciding if they are willing to work with me. Changing it over from my undergrad resume has been a big change though and I am confused.
1. Do I include shadowing experience? I have shadowing experience in the specialty I am trying to research in from high school, but my shadowing from undergrad is in different specialties. If I should list shadowing, should I include the high school experience?
2. What from undergrad is appropriate to list on a medical school resume? I don't have experience with extracurriculars in medical school yet of course, so should I put leadership positions in extracurriculars from undergrad? Or leave that off entirely?
3. Is work/educational experience unrelated to medicine listed?
4. Any other general advice for writing a resume for this occasion? I have little research experience but want to get more involved in it, so there isn't much that would qualify me for medical research that I could list so far on my resume. How likely is it that I even will actually be asked for my resume or be expected to have significant research experience/demonstrated experiences in the field of the physician I am trying to come on board with? I have been told that this person is actively looking for students to join their research, so this is not a cold call.
Thank you!
