1. Name (s) of Presenter(s) Date Attending

2. Title of Research Studied What did you study? Who assisted you? What questions were you asking? Tips for Presentation: Use bullet points- They make it easy for your audience to follow Do not overload your slides with text Do not read from your slides when presenting

3. Findings Here, you can use charts or numbers to describe your findings. You can do this through a chart or a graph. Tips: Numbers can be confusing-Use as few as possible If you have more than 12-15 numbers on a slide, that’s probably too many. Using only one number per sentence helps the audience absorb the data Make sure you place a key with your chart or graph Charts need to be clearly labeled.

4. Findings Here, you can talk about what you found in statistics. Tips: Use the same style for numbers on a slide. For example, do not use 25% in on bullet point and 14 out of 200 in the next. Cite your source on the same slide as the statistic, using a smaller size font.

5. Findings Numbers in tables are both hard to see and understand. There is usually a better way to present your numerical data than with columns and rows of numbers- Get creative! Overuse of a text is a common mistake- If your audience is reading the slides, they are not paying attention to you and your presentation. It is distracting if you use too wide a variety of fonts. Try to stick with the same fonts for titles and the same fonts for the text boxes.

6. Conclusion Summary of your findings What did you find the most difficult? What did you find helpful? Suggestions for future residents? Resources you used (the Library, Research Team, End Note, etc.)

7. Reference List Be sure to list your references correctly!

8. Tips for A Good Presentation Type key words in the PowerPoint Notes area listing what to say when displaying the slide. The notes are printable. Number your slides and give them a title ***PROOF READ, PROOF READ, PROOF READ***EVERYTHING including visuals and numbers.

9. Tips for a Good Presentation Use contrast with backgrounds and text: light on dark or dark on light. Font size must be large enough to be easily read. Size 26- 34 is recommended. Anticipate questions you may be asked and have a response to them prepared.
