Student: What to Include in Your Profile

How to Create an Effective and Informative Profile

Written by Kate Mattison

To facilitate networking within the clinical education community, other users can search for and view the profile you create. You can add as much, or as little, content as you would like. You can still search and apply for rotations, even if you choose not to complete all profile fields.

After reading this article, you will be able to...

  • Upload a Professional Picture

  • Brief Bio/Background

  • Student Discipline, Year of Study, and Expected Graduation Date

  • Clinical Interests, Other Interests, and Languages of Proficiency

  • Education and Experience

  • Save Changes

  • View Your Public Profile

To Begin:

  • Click My Account (profile picture) on the left navigation menu

  • Click Edit my profile from the submenu

Upload a Professional Picture

Your profile picture enables preceptors and faculty to recognize you on the first day of rotations.

  • Click Change Photo below the profile picture icon

  • Select a picture to upload

  • If the photo you select is not uploading, you may need to reduce the file size.
    ​(Note: Profile pictures cannot be removed, but you can replace a photo with a different one)

Brief Bio/Background

You can include a Bio and some background information about yourself for Coordinators to see. If needed, any section of your profile can be hidden by click Hide. You can display that section again by clicking on Show on public profile.

Student Discipline, Year of Study, and Expected Graduation Date

Make sure to choose the correct student discipline and year of study. Please do not type in a custom discipline. Clinical Sites configure required disciplines for rotations. Custom disciplines will not meet those requirments.

Clinical Interests, Other Interests, and Languages of Proficiency

Include your clinical interests and information about who you are outside of the clinical site/school. You can also add any languages you are proficient in.

Save Changes

Be sure to click Save changes after making edits to the "About me" section.

Add Your Education and Experience

Any education, work, or volunteer experience is relevant, even if it isn't directly related to your healthcare career.
