s: (As stated above, list abstracts separate from publications. Include abstracts selected for oral presentations although they are also highlighted in the section entitled “Oral presentations and participation in scientific meetings.”) An academic CV, unlike one for industry, does not provide an objective defining what type of job you want or a summary statement that provides a brief descripti...

RESULTS Most of the BSS-related studies were...

Comprehensive evidence examining whether sex differences in faculty rank exist in academic cardiology, adjusting for experience and research productivity, is lacking. Therefore, we evaluated for sex differences in faculty rank among a comprehensive, contemporary cohort of US cardiologists after ...
