Presenting Medical Research with Excellence is an advanced workshop designed to enhance each participant’s ability to conceptualize, construct and deliver a clear and compelling presentation on a complex subject.

How do we engage and hold our audience’s attention? How do we avoid getting bogged down in details and sidetracked by challenging questions? How do we make a persuasive case in a relatively short period of time? During this session we will address each of these questions in detail. In addition, the following topics will be addressed:

• Persuasion Skills: Structure ideas in a logical and concise format while using relevant facts, figures, visuals, examples and stories to drive home a compelling message.

• Performance Skills: Demonstrate good presentation mechanics: voice, eye contact, gestures, energy, stance and movement.

• Content Organization & Development: Quickly and easily develop a customized presentation that is designed to address your audience’s most pressing needs and concerns.

• Audience Engagement: Use various interactive methods to stimulate your audience’s curiosity and participation.

• Slide Design: Quickly and easily create attractive / easy to understand slides that flow from one idea to the next.
