Including a doctor's name and address on a CV is not necessary unless it is specifically relevant to the job being applied for.

Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Explanation

Including your address on your CV is important for several reasons. Firstly, it provides potential employers with your location, which can be crucial for determining if you are within a reasonable commuting distance. Secondly, it shows that you are transparent and willing to provide necessary information. Lastly, it allows employers to contact you through mail if needed. Overall, including your address on your CV helps to establish trust and facilitate communication between you and potential employers.

Including personal information such as ethnic background can potentially lead to discrimination or bias during the hiring process. Therefore, it is generally recommended to omit this information from a CV to ensure fair and unbiased evaluation of candidates.
