Listed my clinical experiences for my CNA course
RELEVANT WORK/VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE
I hadn't had paid work in the field, but I'd volunteered in a hospital
NON-MEDICAL WORK/VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE
I used this to highlight my volunteer work with kids, since it was a pediatric position, plus my work history to show I was reliable

Always remember, keep it neat, use a professional e-mail address, and basic font (Times New Roman, etc)
