Doctor Resume Format (MBBS, MD, MS)
Hospitals read a doctor’s CV for three things first: your medical council registration, where you trained, and what you have actually done on the ward. This format puts those at the top, in the order HR and medical superintendents expect.
Example Doctor resume
MBBS doctor with 3 years of emergency and general medicine experience at a 300-bed multi-speciality hospital. Comfortable leading resuscitation, managing ward patients independently and keeping clean medico-legal records. BLS and ACLS certified.
- Manage 40+ casualty patients per shift, stabilising and referring critical cases within protocol
- Lead first response for code blue calls, performing CPR and airway management as per ACLS
- Prepare MLC documentation and coordinate with police for medico-legal cases
- Handled admissions, daily rounds and discharge summaries for a 30-bed medicine ward
- Performed IV cannulation, ABG sampling, Ryle’s tube and Foley catheter insertion

- 4Work Experience
- 5Clinical Rotations & Internship
- 6Education
- 7Clinical Skills & Procedures
- 8Certifications
Tips from healthcare hiring
- Put your medical council name and registration number near the top. Many hospitals will not shortlist a CV without it.
- List rotations with the department and duration (for example, General Medicine, 3 months). Interviewers ask about them.
- Name the procedures you can do independently. "Performed 50+ IV cannulations" says more than "good clinical skills".
- Keep NEET-PG or other exam scores only if they are recent and help the role you are applying for.
- One to two pages is enough for most medical officer and resident roles. Consultants with publications can go longer.
Example summary

Build my Doctor resumeQuestions about the Doctor resume format
What is the best resume format for an MBBS doctor?+
A reverse-chronological format with your registration details at the top, then experience, internship rotations, education, procedures and certifications. Keep it to one or two pages for medical officer and junior resident roles.
Should a doctor’s CV include a photo?+
Many Indian hospitals still accept or expect a photo, but it is not required, and corporate or international employers often prefer none. The Jobslly templates leave it out so the CV stays clean and ATS-friendly.
How do I write a doctor CV with no experience after internship?+
Lead with your compulsory rotating internship: list each posting, the duration and what you handled. Add procedures, BLS / ACLS, any research or CME, and a short summary of the department you want to work in.
