Tips for presenting A rough goal would be to try and get 1 minute of talking for each slide that you present. We all talk fast when we get in front of a group, so for a 15 minute lecture, I typically would write about 20 slides. Remember when you are discussing your slides, that YOU know what is on them, but the crowd may not. Point out examples, and try and describe what you are seeing on each slide that there are photos

Where do I find background information? It is difficult to find relevant journal articles some times, but when I do a presentation, I start with a search on Once there, you can simply type in whatever condition you are looking for (ARMD, Keratoconus, Pseudotumor, etc) The articles MAY cost money, but a simplier, and much cheaper, way might be to contact your school of optometry. For example, all graduates of ICO can contact the ICO Library and they will gladly help you get the articles that you need.

Lastly Have fun with it, you are not being graded, and we are all here to learn from each other. These presentations are often times the most fun to sit through, as it is your colleagues who are presenting.
