In residency, we all have the opportunity to present things to others, but how do we go about articulating what we want to say logically and coherently? Joining us today is Dr. Michael Miloro, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Illinois Chicago. He is here to share some power tips for presenting in lectures, starting with the importance of presentations for a resident’s development, before explaining why the way you present is just as important as what you’re presenting. Then, we examine the importance of detailed preparation, the role of passion in captivating presentations, how to hold the audience’s attention, how to lean on humor, and the best practices for preparing presentation slides. We also unpack the power of storytelling and how to start telling impactful stories, how to prepare for a presentation on the day, how to approach Q&A sessions, how to keep the audience engaged, and how to improve your overall presentation skills. To end, Dr. Miloro carefully explains the rules around privacy and patient information in presentations, and he shares the books and TV shows that currently hold his attention.
