This document provides guidance on how to effectively present a medical case. It discusses why medical case presentations are important, how to structure a presentation, components to include, and tips for delivery. An effective presentation includes an opening to engage the audience, a body that discusses the case details in a clear structure, and a conclusion that summarizes key points. Visual aids should enhance the presentation while keeping it brief and easy to understand. Presenters should be confident in their content and motivated to share their message.
