Oral Presentation Instructions

Each participant will be given 13 minutes for their oral presentation : 8 minutes to present his/her research and 5 minutes to discuss it with the experts. To present your topic successfully you are asked to follow the instructions:

 

  • Presentation should be made on Microsoft Office PowerPoint;

  • Aspect ratio 16:9;

  • Try to use a light and monotonous background. For your writing, choose a color that will be contrasting with the background. Please note that overly bright colors and frequent transition from one color to another may interfere with information perception and conveyance;

  • Use phrases instead of whole sentences in your slides and avoid using parenthetical phrases;

  • Try not to overcrowd your slides with text;

  • Try to visualize the information. Use graphs, tables, diagrams and other forms of pictorial representations.

  • Use a simple and legible font (e.g. Arial, Calibri etc.). The font-size should be at least 34 pt for titles and at least 20 pt for the text.

  • Use the same font and size on all slides.

  • Refrain reading from your slides. The presentation is made to facilitate you to not miss out the key points of your speech;

  • Be clear, concise and grammatically correct in your speech. Try to explain your ideas thoroughly to the audience and avoid telling prepared and memorized phrases.

Non-Presenting Participant

A Non-presenting participant has the chance to interact in panel discussions which allows for a dynamic interaction between students and experts. Younger students can be introduced to various ways in which a presentation can be made on a professional level, how sources are reviewed, how data is organized and other essential skills of research.


We strongly believe in interconnecting individuals in the medical field and in promoting interdisciplinary interaction - participants can achieve that by interacting with other members on the Virtual Lounges especially meant for networking and socializing, and/or “Meet-the-professor” session, where you may choose to interact with several experts and other members so as to forge those connections.
