misgengen Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 my research lab offered a summer series of seminars with a speaker coming in every week for three months and I attended the whole series. I was told I can't put it in my CV by other people, but I was thinking of putting it under professional development or additional training? I am trying to apply for public health and thought it would at least show some dedication to the field. How would I list it if its OK?

bellefast Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I have done that before for my cv but I am not in your field. I dont see the harm if it is under professional development as you are not making it seem like you have done something unethical. i think it does show commitment at the least it shows that you have learned or did something related to the field in a way that can single you out for not being clueless.

DBP Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I have a heading in my CV titled, "Academic Experiences and Activities". I briefly list relevant talks and workshops I have attended, making sure to note I was an attendee. Not sure how it is interpreted, but my mentors have never commented against the section. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
