Guidelines For Student Clinic Talks
Format
q 15 minutes in duration (for large topics, 30 minutes is acceptable)
q Three Parts (size of each will depend on topic)
o Evidence Based Guidelines for Screening / Prevention
o Simple Differential Diagnosis for Finding / Positive Screen
o Treatment Modalities
Do’s
q talks must clearly use evidence-based medical guidelines for screening and treatment
q use Guidelines Online to get the recommendations for screening and treatment
o remember that not all guidelines are created equal – some have biases and some are not by physicians
o The US Task Force and Canadian Task Force are quite good
q for treatment, consult one of our attendings, another clinician or specialist, or the literature
q handouts should be one single-sided page (two sides if you want to add graphs or figures)
q do not distribute something you printed out directly from an online book – make your own summary
