  • Top 7 Tips for Presenting Your Credentials for Medical Legal Work Patricia Iyer MSN RN LNCC President, Med League Support Services, Inc
    Top 7 Tips For Presenting Your Credentials For Medical Legal Work Patricia Iyer MSN RN LNCC President, Med League Support Services, Inc. and co- presenter of an all new webinar on polishing your writing skills. Choose between a resume and a curriculum vitae (C.V.) . A resume is a brief (no more than 1-2 pages) summary of your educational and employment history. A C.V. is a longer and more detailed description of education, employment, awards, honors, publications, membership in professional associations, and offices held. To properly demonstrate expertise, legal nurse consultants and expert witnesses are more likely going to prepare a C.V. 1. In your C.V., include the important and basic information. Don’t overlook adding your phone number and email, as well as an address. Avoid adding extraneous details such as religious affiliation, names and ages of children, hobbies and interests. 2. List each of your jobs in reverse order, starting with the most current job. Include the starting and ending years, the name of the employer, your title, and a brief description of your job responsibilities and accomplishments. 3. Look at your background through the eyes of the attorney who is reviewing your credentials. Stress your clinical experience if you are seeking work as an expert witness. Avoid stating you serve as an expert, as this makes you look like a hired gun. Avoid including education you completed to become a legal nurse consultant if you are seeking expert witness work, as this may make you look like a “legal nurse” rather than a “clinical nurse”.
