So, where to get started?
Following are 4 pro tips to come up with a good medical presentation.
1. A simple and easy-to-follow structure is crucial when it comes to medical presentations

The conclusion part of your presentation is where you take up your main points and provide your audience with some key takeaways on what they can do with it, or how they can utilize what they’ve learned.
2. Follow the rule of minimalistic presentation by limiting the density of copy on each slide
Less is actually more for a good presentation, and medical presentations are no exception. Too much of text and you run the risk of letting your audience get engrossed with reading instead of connecting with you.
Think bite-size information as it is easy to retain information when it’s broken down into bite-sized chunks. Add illustrations and videos as those would be a great way to learn. And research suggests it would be 95% more compelling than bare text.
