A physiotherapist résumé example, with outcome measures on it

One complete physiotherapist résumé, written out in full. The person is invented. The reading and the score come from the product itself.

— caseload, outcome measure, waiting list.

Physiotherapy is one of the few clinical professions that records an outcome for almost every patient, and one of the few whose résumés rarely mention it. This example is written out in full so you can read what that changes, then put through the tools here so you can see what a parser stores. The candidate is invented. Emeka Fairweather-Lindqvist does not exist, neither employer exists, and every figure was chosen to demonstrate a shape.

The example, in full

Caseload first, outcome second

Forty outpatients a week across musculoskeletal and post-surgical pathways. The proportion meeting their outcome measure at discharge from 68% to 84%. Those two lines, in that order, place the candidate and then describe the quality of their work.

Order matters here more than most professions, because a high outcome rate on a caseload of twelve is a different claim from the same rate on a caseload of forty, and a clinical lead reads the second number against the first.

Service improvement is the senior line

A waiting list from eleven weeks to five, by introducing three group rehabilitation classes. That is a decision with a clinical rationale and a measurable effect, and it separates a senior physiotherapist from an experienced one.

The sports block carries the other kind of evidence: re-injury within twelve weeks of return to play down from 19% to 9%, and a return to play protocol adopted by four clubs for three seasons. Adoption and durability are results, and they are worth a line each.

What the reading found

The door on this page hands the document to the résumé builder as plain text, through the same import an uploaded file goes through, and the review shows each field beside the line it came from. Here the completeness pass found four readable sections, 118 words of experience evidence and ten distinct skills, with the registration kept as a certification and three languages in their own section.

No language model is used. The readers are deterministic functions over the lines of one section, and where they are unsure they ask a question with nothing applied until it is answered.

What the checker scored it

Ninety-seven out of 100, with one improvement remaining worth 8 points. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% + 100 × 30% + 92 × 40% = 97, explained in the article on the score. Eight evidence lines, seven read as action-led, four carrying measurable evidence, and 196 readable words against a band opening at 250.

Fifty-four words from the top band on an eight-line page is the ordinary position for a clinical document, and the ATS checker reports it as a volume gap rather than a quality one. Adding a third post would close it, and inventing one would not be worth eight points.

What this example leaves off

No patient stories, no named athletes and no before and after case studies. A clinical lead reads an outcome rate across a caseload as evidence and a single dramatic recovery as an anecdote, and in sport a named athlete is usually a confidentiality problem as well.

Long lists of treatment techniques are left off as well. Naming ten modalities describes a course brochure. The outcome measure, the waiting list and the re-injury rate describe a physiotherapist.

What to change for your own

Change the pathway. Neurology, respiratory, paediatrics, older people's services and occupational health all use this shape with different outcome measures. Then put your own caseload, outcome rate, waiting list and supervision figures in.

Keep registration with its year. Keep one service improvement line. The design gallery holds 37 layouts, and the dental hygienist example, the laboratory technician example and the civil engineer example show the same structure in other work.
