THE MEDICAL LECTUREOPTIONS FOR THE WRITTEN SYLLABUS
“Bare bones” outline
Detailed outline
MonographReproduction of slides
Slides plus text
THE MEDICAL LECTURESLIDE FORMAT Offset each item with a bullet rather than a Roman numeral or letter
THE MEDICAL LECTURE SLIDE FORMAT Use numerals only if
numerical order is importantExample – the ABCs of CPRExample – the most common cancers in women, in descending order of frequency
THE MEDICAL LECTURESLIDE FORMATLimit script on each line and number of lines on each slide so that the slide is easily visible from the back of a larger conference room
THE MEDICAL LECTURE“TOO MUCH” MATERIAL ON SLIDE Criteria for the diagnosis of severe pre-
eclampsiaBP > 160 mm HgBP > 110 mm HgCNS hyperexcitabilityVisual changesHeadachePulmonary edemaIUGRThombocytopeniaAbnormal liver function testsOliguria
THE MEDICAL LECTURESLIDE FORMATChoose appropriate colors for the background and text so that the bullets and script are easily visible and the text reproduces uniformly
THE MEDICAL LECTURESLIDE FORMAT – BAD EXAMPLEBe wary of color choicesBe wary of color choicesSome color combinations may not be easily visible
Some color combinations may not be easily visible
THE MEDICAL LECTURESLIDE FORMAT Choose appropriate size lettering – especially when your lecture will be presented in a large room
Do not use font size < 28
THE MEDICAL LECTURESLIDE FORMAT - EXAMPLE This script is too small
This script is too big
This script is probably just right
THE MEDICAL LECTURESLIDE FORMATLimit the number of narrative text slides to approximately 1 to 1.5 per minute
Proofread slides carefully
THE MEDICAL LECTURESLIDE FORMATWhen you do not proofred yur slides carfully, you create the impression of hapharzardniss in your approash to science
THE MEDICAL LECTURESLIDE FORMATUse graphs, pie charts, and tabular summaries in lieu of narrative text when appropriate
Be certain that graphs and tables are labeled correctly and that they are easily visible

studies Include pertinent clinical
materialsSonogramMRI or CT scanAnatomic specimen
PREPARING FOR THE ORAL PRESENTATIONBe certain of the
