Paste it into Word, Notion or ChatGPT — the structure survives.

Three mistakes this example avoids

  • Listing modalities (ultrasound, e-stim) instead of the patient populations and outcomes you deliver.
  • New grads omitting clinical rotation settings and weeks — that's their only experience signal.
  • Ignoring compliance: no mention of documentation timeliness or Medicare/8-minute rule familiarity.
