Here’s an easy tip to improve your ophthalmology powerpoints … use less words.
Now … as simple as this sounds, it’s not always intuitive. After all, you make your PowerPoint presentation on a computer. A computer has a keyboard, and keyboards are great for typing words. Thus, you should put lots of words in your Powerpoint!
Wrong!
Words are terrible and horrible things … especially when projected in large numbers on a wall in a dark, cavernous room full of doctors trying to stay awake. It may be tempting to take your outlined notes and paste them directly into your slides: after all, that’s instant high-yield content!
Don’t do it!
Instead, see if you can make your lecture without any words! Sprinkle in photos, videos, graphs, anything! We are fortunate that ophthalmology is a visual subspecialty with great anatomy. Take those photos and use them.
I personally average only seven words per slide, but I’m striving for less. You should, too.
