Integrating Quality Symposium

Podium presentations

Preparing your presentation

If you and your team are selected to give a podium presentation, here are some guidelines.

Podium presenters have 10 minutes of speaking time and 5 minutes for questions and answers.  Due to the busy agenda, each speaker (or team) will have 15 minutes maximum at the podium. At the start of the presentation, name the learner(s) involved in the project. We highly recommend you mention how learning was incorporated into the process of your work and that you share the scientific methods used to obtain data and analyze your work. PowerPoint presentations are encouraged. UC Davis Health System has custom designed templates available for use on the Intranet:

Tips for creating an effective PowerPoint presentation

Here are some quick tips on creating an effective PowerPoint presentation:

-  Use 24 pt. font, black on white or very light background for maximum contrast
-  Use short phrases, not full sentences, with bullet points (remember you will be speaking the full sentences so that attention is on you, not the visuals)
-  Use less than 5 points per slide
-  Less is more!
-  Data is best shared graphically
-  Edit, edit, edit – and spell check, too
-  Deadline: To be determined
