Not sure if any med ed folks are on here anymore but wanted to celebrate a publication in Medical Science Educator! “Crafting Evidence-Based Academic Presentations: Practical Guidelines for Medical Science Educators”

@stephmurrayyyy Love my village! East Side of Providence RI, dense walkable neighborhood. No kids when we moved in (I was 7 months pregnant with our first)- at our high the block had 23 kids! They ABSOLUTELY got us through the pandemic ♥️

Pssst….Your slides are not for you. Stop using them as cue cards. #Presentationskills

[Emily Green, PhD, MA @epaigegreen]

@oldandrewuk Everyone needs to learn the magic that is “advanced” slide share, “share part of screen.” KEY for those moments when presenter view fails you but you still want to see your notes!

[Emily Green, PhD, MA @epaigegreen]

@PEgeekscorner @olicav @BradleyKBusch @SCottinghatt @finleyt @PatriceBain1 Start with the why. Why this is important. Why this is relevant (to them in particular).

[Emily Green, PhD, MA @epaigegreen]

Worst ice breaker- “craziest thing you’ve ever eaten.” Lots of naming of cultural dishes as “weird” & “gross.” Come on people. 🫤

[Emily Green, PhD, MA @epaigegreen]

@brent_waggoner YES. Proud public school parent. The hand-wringing is intense, especially in an urban area like mine. But EVERY TIME I actually go into my kids’ schools I am impressed by the teachers and the students.

[Emily Green, PhD, MA @epaigegreen]

@ThePhDPlace Maybe. I think this kind of guidance usually comes from the business/marketing world where they’re talking about one pithy statement on a beautiful photo background. Not possible with complex, dense content #MedEd Not always the goal as educators.

[Emily Green, PhD, MA @epaigegreen]

@rbarbosa91 @karimbrohi And what’s even worse than reading notes is riffing on something completely unrelated to the slide while the audience desperately tries to figure out what’s going on!

[Emily Green, PhD, MA @epaigegreen]

Our standards for academic presentations are too low. It’s not enough to shrug & complain about death by PowerPoint. We need to expect more from ourselves & others. #Presentationskills #presentationdesign Let’s celebrate great presentations & presenters! 🥳

[Emily Green, PhD, MA @epaigegreen]

Icons vs clip art? Icons! They are designed to communicate a concept without the visual clutter of clip art. #presentationskills #presentationdesign

[Emily Green, PhD, MA @epaigegreen]

@SMuehlschMD Yep. Maybe we can try to hide them at the end? 3pt font?! 😆

[Emily Green, PhD, MA @epaigegreen]

I have blasphemous feelings about learning objectives in #MedEd. They don’t need to be a slide in every #presentation. They are essential for YOU as the educator. Not so much for the audience.

[Emily Green, PhD, MA @epaigegreen]

@GTavernetti I like this. I think of it (hook or anchor) as a connection between the content & the learner. Making relevance explicit. Answering the “why should I care” (or perhaps the “how is this related to what I already know”) question.

[Emily Green, PhD, MA @epaigegreen]

Up for promotion but having trouble getting teaching evaluations? Make a brief eval form yourself & put the QR code to it in the last slide of every presentation you do #facultydevelopment #facultyaffairs #presentations

[Emily Green, PhD, MA @epaigegreen]

@nancyduarte And in education/academia, how to do all of that to best FACILITATE LEARNING

[Emily Green, PhD, MA @epaigegreen]

@latkedelrey I ♥️ Providence, RI! Small but mighty

[Emily Green, PhD, MA @epaigegreen]

Still hate hybrid sessions. If the presenter is in a room in - person with some folks, others online have a sub-par experience. Tell me I’m wrong. #teachingandlearning #presentations

[Emily Green, PhD, MA @epaigegreen]

Your slides don’t need to be beautiful. They need to be educationally effective. #presentationdesign #presentationskills #MedEd
