Requirements:

• Presentation is up to 10 minutes (tip: practice and time talk once ahead of time)
• You must create an evidence table that listeners can refer to during your talk.
• You must provide a printed evidence table and short reference (approximately five references) list for the faculty member who hears your presentation. This list should include the citations to the studies in your evidence table (tip: during talk, help your listeners by refering to studies by their name and note what study design they used, eg RCT, cohort, systematic review of RCTs, etc).
• Consider using numerics as taught in class. This is especially helpful if you conclude that the answer to your controversy is a "toss-up" and so you want to share with the patient the pros/cons. To do this:
  1. Fill out the four cells
  2. Provide key numbers
     • If diagnostic test -> sensitivity / specificity or Likelihood ratios
     • If intervention -> absolute risk reduction and number needed to treat (NNT). Click for more information.
• Consider using PowerPoint, OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org/) or similar program to make slides to help your users.
• End your talk with your clinical recommendations. If there was conflict among your guidelines, or among your studies, try to explain the conflict so your recommendations are the best of all.

Grading

• The presentation is 5% of your ambulatory care grade, or approximately 1% of your 3 month medicine clerkship grade.
