Why these resumes work
- Ritu’s bullets name Berg Balance, FIM and the Spinal Cord Independence Measure, proving she tracks outcomes with standard tools rather than describing therapy in general terms.
- Karthik links his internship caseload and sports elective directly to the clinic role he wants, so a sports clinic reader sees relevant screening and taping work.
- Both resumes mention patient and caregiver education, a skill physiotherapy managers value because home programmes decide how well recovery continues after discharge.
- The supervision and group class bullets show Ritu can run a service, which supports her application for a lead role instead of another staff post.
