CaRMS CV Editing
Clarity and structure that meet CaRMS expectations
Since 2008, I’ve helped CaRMS applicants refine CVs so program directors can
quickly understand their training, experience, and strengths. This service focuses
on prioritization, clarity, and complete, well-positioned descriptions in an
exceptionally competitive selection process.
How I Work with CaRMS CVs
I approach CaRMS CVs as strategic documents designed for rapid, high-stakes review by program directors. In a highly competitive application process where small details matter, clarity, prioritization, and structure shape how your application distinguishes you as a candidate.
I review your CV for how information is sequenced, emphasized, and framed for CaRMS evaluation. That includes assessing whether experiences are presented with sufficient specificity, whether roles and responsibilities are clearly articulated, and whether the overall structure guides program directors to the most relevant details without friction or overload.
My feedback focuses on:
- Prioritizing content based on how program directors scan and assess CVs
- Refining descriptions so experiences read as complete, substantive, and credible
- Improving flow and layout to support quick comprehension across sections
I provide clear, targeted guidance on what to revise and why, then refine the result in a second round for Editing & Feedback. The goal is a CaRMS CV that reads as deliberate, well-organized, and easy to evaluate—without unnecessary density or distraction.

CaRMS CV Editing & Feedback
Two Rounds of Review
This service provides detailed editing and strategic feedback to strengthen how program directors read and evaluate your CV in the CaRMS application process.
I review your CaRMS CV as an integrated document and focus on clarity, structure, prioritization, and completeness. My feedback addresses how information is ordered, what draws attention, and whether experience descriptions provide the level of specificity and context to show program directors what makes you a compelling candidate for their programs.
Editing & feedback focuses on:
- Structure and organization for fast, accurate review
- Prioritization of clinical, academic, and research experience
- Clarity and completeness of experience descriptions
- Consistency in formatting, headings, and chronology
- Wording that communicates responsibility, scope, and contribution
- Identifying omissions, weak framing, or confusing presentation
You revise your CV based on my guidance, and I complete a second round to refine the result and ensure the document reads as deliberate, clear, and professionally aligned with CaRMS standards.
CaRMS CV Proofreading
One Round of Review
This service provides a final technical review of an already-prepared CaRMS CV.
Proofreading covers:
- Grammar and punctuation
- Spelling and typographical errors
- Subject-verb agreement
- Pronoun agreement
- Verb tense
- Singular vs. plural
Proofreading does not include structural changes, reorganization, or strategic feedback.
Who You’ll Be Working With
I’m David Lombardino, founder of DLA Editors & Proofers. Since 2008, I’ve worked with medical residency applicants navigating highly competitive application systems, including CaRMS.
My work with CaRMS CVs focuses on judgment, structure, and clarity—how information is prioritized, how experience is presented, and how quickly program directors can understand a candidate’s background and strengths. Applicants come to me to make their CV the strongest possible for their CaRMS applications, because the margin for error is small and every detail matters.
I bring a deep understanding of how residency applications are reviewed and how presentation choices affect evaluation. My role is to help you present your experience in a way that is clear, credible, and aligned with CaRMS expectations—without overstatement or unnecessary complexity.
