Generally all students are required to be at Grand Rounds, M&M and resident teaching conferences on Tuesday afternoons beginning at 3 pm in the Hub 4520. Additionally attendance is required at any orientation or professor rounds listed on the rotation schedule.

A 10-minute oral final presentation near the end of the rotation is expected for all M4 4-week students 鈥� see rotation schedule for date and time. M3 students are NOT expected to present but are required to attend if presentations fall during their time on service. 

Final presentations are graded on content, delivery, knowledge of the subject matter, and use of the primary literature. Other grading factors include the quality of slides, organization, and delivery style.

When deciding on a topic, it's recommended to discuss your idea(s) with the Course Director to ensure the topic is not too broad. View past presentation topic examples (PDF). 

Students typically present in person from a conference room in the Hub, but may choose to present virtually. The Course Directors, other faculty and residents/fellows will be in attendance virtually. The most common format is a PowerPoint presentation. 

Please email Cassandra your topic at least two days before the presentation(s) so it can be included in the announcement.
