This article analyses the innovative resume impact on medical students adjustment process with a purpose of verifying the factors which interfere on academic experience. A reduced version of Academic Experience Questionnaire was used (QVA-r), in a 5 score Likert scale. 90 medical students took part, where 40 of them were from the first grade and 40 from the third. 10 students were excluded due to uncompleted questionnaire and/or consent form. 60%(n = 48) were female(QVA-r 3,7 overall value) and 40%(n = 32) male(QVA-r 3,8 overall value).The participants who pursued gainful employment presented a lower average on a study dimension(M = 3,3) than the ones with no gainful employment(M = 3,6). It was observed in both grades that a career dimension plays an important role on students adjustment (M = 4,2). Differences related to age were identified evincing that students with a largest average showed the best adjustment to the institution. Women were determined with the best adjustment to the teaching method and men with the best global adjustment to the institution. QVA-r has proved to be a good students adjustment assessment tool forward the innovative resume implantation on medical course.
