    Trying to proof my resume
    I have this line and I'm unsure if the capitalization is correct. (I doubt it is, but I can't find my reference book at the moment)

    .... closely with Physicians, Practice Manager, Nurse Practitioners, Nurse Managers, nursing and billing staff members to.....

    Should Physicians, etc. actually be capitalized or not? This sentence just doesn't look right to me. :confused:

    I don't think you should capitalize "physician".

    If I say I worked as an accountant, I don't captalize the "accountant".

    Why should physician not be capitalized while the other job titles are? Consistancy counts, but in general most people overcapitalize. A job title such as doctor, of and by itself, is not capitalized. When used to describe a particular doctor as in "Doctor Jones," it is capitalized.

    You're both right... and I do tend to over capitalize.

    Thanks for your help! :)
