Title of the Abstract/Project Names and Affiliations of Authors Venue Date
Background and Rationale for the Study/Project • Identify the clinical problem the project addresses • Provide a very brief summary of the background literature • Include a study hypothesis on this slide, or on a separate slide The literature review should be referenced – can be as simple as a “name, year” with a separate slide at the end
Methods • Identify the study setting • IRB/ethics approvals/informed consent • Characteristics of participants • Inclusionary criteria • Exclusionary criteria • Bold,italics, and color can highlight important features of your data • Avoid writing sentences – you will be tempted to read your slides
Methods • Interventional Procedures • A table or figure of the design, group assignments, tests, etc. can save space and looks good • Study Outcomes/Tests • Data Analysis • Statistics, post-hoc tests, p-value • If space is tight, include on a separate page Include references for outcome measures, so the audience can look up the metrics
Results • Provide a list of the study findings • What was completed • Demographic findings/baseline characteristics • Keep results focused on the findings – leave interpretation to the discussion • Any font less than 20-point is difficult to read in a presentation
Use 2 or fewer figures per slide to show your results – anything more can be too busy or small, and detract from your message
Results, cont This table is too busy and the audience will not be able to read it
Discussion • Summarize what the results mean and how they answered the study objective (s) • Include a tie-in to the clinical impact of the findings • Do not use red font with a black or blue background – difficult on the audience’s eyes
Discussion • Address any new questions the study brought to light • Incorporate limitations of the project
Conclusions • Main findings of the project • Give a take home message • Offer suggestions for future study
Acknowledgements and/or References • A general rule of thumb is allow an average of 1 minute per slide • This takes into account an average of • quick slides, such as the title slide, • as well as longer slides (e.g method or result descriptions), which could take 2-3 minutes each.
