Cv?

This might be a stupid question, but I believe in the saying that there are not stupid questions. Well anyway, what is a CV?

Could you maybe put a little context with those 2 letters...as in when did you hear the acronym mentioned? There are too many possibilities out there, med or not: cardiovascular, cerebrovascluar, cardiac volume, cervical vertebra, creamed vegetables, and on and on.

Individual speak of a CV when they are refering to sending some type of information with applications to schools or jobs? It sounds to me like some sort of resume or somethings. Plus, a lot of employers (especially anesthesia) ask for a CV.

In those terms I have no earthly idea...if I were to guess, I'd say a certificate of verification of some sort, but that is my only educated guess.

CV = Curriculum Vitae

A document that generally runs 2-3 pages that comprehensively lists your achievements, career posts, publications, book chapters, etc. I had to put one together for an interview, here is the link I used for prep.

In the context you wrote, it means Curriculum Vitae. Look at the web-site listed above. It is a standard term used in application processses, writing, lecturing and other professional activites and differs from a resume, which usually includes narratives and objectives.
