Building an Academic CV: Positioning DNP and PhD Graduates for Roles in Academia
Webinar Details
This 45-minute interactive session is designed for DNP and PhD nursing students preparing for academic careers. Participants will explore how an academic CV differs from a resume and learn how to effectively organize and present their teaching, clinical, research, and service accomplishments.

Learning Outcomes
- Differentiate between a professional resume and an academic curriculum vitae (CV).
