Mandatory Presentation Requirements

Resident Presentation Requirements July 1st 2024 

It is mandatory to present ONCE at the AHD either at the Journal Club or Clinical vignettes. Residents can identify a case they have seen on their rotations that has raised a clinical question.  In general, the topic should relate to an approach to diagnosis and/or management. Common scenarios are preferred over the case rarely seen (e.g. endocarditis vs. macrophage activation syndrome), although are not prohibited. The resident is expected to briefly present the case, present the available evidence with regards to an appropriate approach for diagnosis and/or management and how it relates to the case. The presentation should try to be interactive, particularly with regards to the case itself (e.g. a 55 year old male presents with chest pain. Ask your audience what they would do, rather than just presenting what happened). All presentations are maximum 30 minutes.

Please contact CIM Lead Resident to sign up for your schedule.

Residents may be asked to present at subspecialty rounds while on the specific rotation (Hematology, Pulmonary, ID, GIM-Critical appraisal topics) but these will not be part of the mandatory presentations. 

Presentations at national or international conferences are not part of the mandatory requirements but rather a very good experience in a resident’s career.

Quality Improvement Proposals

All residents will participate at the EPIQ Workshop at the AHD and they will apply the acquired skills with a QI Project Proposal (this is small group work).

Evaluation of Presentations (PGY 1-3)

All presentation types will generate peer evaluations through the One45 WebEval system, to provide residents with constructive feedback for future presentations. Residents are also encouraged to review their presentation with a staff person prior to their talk for additional feedback.
