illness– Case with good teaching points which
may not be discussed routinely on clinical rounds

Organization
• Introduction• Case presentation• List learning objectives• Body/Discussion• Summary

Choose colors carefully
• Dark background, light text• Poor contrast = hard to
read
![Page 14: Strategies to Enhance Large Group Presentations](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161e2550346895dd1f834/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Shouting TEXT WRITTEN IN ALL
CAPS IS MORE DIFFICULT TO READ THAN THE SAME SIZE TEXT WRITTEN WITH UPPER AND LOWER CAPS
![Page 17: Strategies to Enhance Large Group Presentations](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161e2550346895dd1f834/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Backgrounds
• Readable, classic
• But, fatiguing over time
![Page 19: Strategies to Enhance Large Group Presentations](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161e2550346895dd1f834/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
BACKGROUNDS
Pointless backgrounds
Are distracting
![Page 20: Strategies to Enhance Large Group Presentations](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161e2550346895dd1f834/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Slide Content• One major point per slide
• About one minute per slide–This ratio increases as the length
of the talk increases
• Simplify information (on the slide!)
![Page 21: Strategies to Enhance Large Group Presentations](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161e2550346895dd1f834/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Rule of 666• Maximum of 6 words per line
• Maximum of 6 lines per slide
• Maximum of 6 sequential text slides
![Page 22: Strategies to Enhance Large Group Presentations](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161e2550346895dd1f834/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Slide Content
• For goodness sakes, don’t read your slides!
• Avoid STDs– Speaker/text dissonance
![Page 23: Strategies to Enhance Large Group Presentations](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161e2550346895dd1f834/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Savvy Slides• Use animations sparingly
• Focus on Content, Not “Show”
![Page 24: Strategies to Enhance Large Group Presentations](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161e2550346895dd1f834/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Dim Text• Good for lists• Keeps audience focused
on current point• The rest of list is available
for review
![Page 25: Strategies to Enhance Large Group Presentations](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161e2550346895dd1f834/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Effective Habits• Prepare in advance!
– “It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.” Mark Twain
• Practice, practice, practice– Particularly the introduction
![Page 26: Strategies to Enhance Large Group Presentations](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062811/568161e2550346895dd1f834/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• • Can anyone read this?

Tables, Charts, and Graphs
• Avoid tables & figures from journals – they do not project well
• Tables & figures should be clearly labeled, and make sense at a glance
• Orient the audience & walk them through the data
