Consultant & Specialist Doctor CV Format (MD, MS, DNB)
Hospitals hiring a consultant look past the degree to what you own: your specialty, the procedures and cases you handle independently, outcomes, teaching and academic work. This format gives each of those a clear place.

Tips from healthcare hiring
- Put your specialty and years post-PG in the first line: "Consultant Physician, MD Medicine, 8 years post-PG".
- List procedures with volumes and, where you can, outcomes.
- Include teaching roles, audits and committees: senior roles are judged on leadership too.
- Add publications and conference talks in a separate section; two pages or more is normal at this level.
