Many health professional students come to us with a common question:How can they make their application materials stand out by showcasing impactful learning, leadership, clinical, and work experiences?
To help students create compelling application materials aligned with best practices, we've gathered and annotated samples of CVs, resumes, cover letters, and letters of intent, generously donated by each program’s alumni. These resources have been incredibly helpful to many students over the years.

We hope you enjoy the story, but more importantly, we hope you don't miss the opportunity to have your application documents reviewed by our office.
