Example of a Great Oral Presentation - Heart Failure (For Medical Students and Residents)

You've heard tips on how to give a great oral presentation, but it's hard to put tips into context without seeing examples. Here's an example of a pretty good (if I do say so myself) oral presentation on a patient with heart failure and atrial flutter. This is the first a series of videos with examples of oral presentations on patients with common diagnoses. Comment below whether or not you want to see more of these!

LOL I just realized I gave a 62-year-old woman a 13-year-old son. He's adopted.

Yes I love this idea! If you can do a series of just examples of oral presentations for bread-butter cases like (COPD, AKI, DKA, etc) that would be so-so-so helpful! It's so hard to know exactly how to do a great presentation since all the residents/fellows I rotate with get to present in a way abbreviated form that is not applicable/acceptable in my current stage of training as a medical student...

[@MonicaJeong]

Thanks for letting me know!! Yea, I definitely know what you mean about the resident presentations being abbreviated. They're not necessarily the best to emulate as a med student, as you said! Better to learn the long form before taking shortcuts. :)

[@MelisaRodriguezS]

Thank you so much for this video Monica! Please definitely continue doing these it helps a lot especially to prepare for rotations which is where I'm right now in my career.

[@MonicaJeong]

Will do!! :) Glad it was helpful!

[@sungcheoljung8235]

This is what I NEED! Thank you

[@ConanLiuMD]

Awesome video, I felt like you really hit a lot of the major points where med students (and residents) tend to go wrong. I think the only thing I would have personally changed is shortening the one liner a little bit more (maybe including OSA on CPAP and hypothyroidism in the PMH) but I do think that's definitely mostly a personal/attending preference kind of thing. Love the part about being confident in presenting the plan and also not stopping when moving from PMH to PSH to Meds, etc. Very useful resource and thanks!

[@MonicaJeong]

Thanks for adding the helpful points!! 👍🏻 Been trying to keep track of some common mistakes.

[@bmd2959]

During these tough days of intern year, I am glad that I found your channel! Thank you so much!

[@MonicaJeong]

So glad you’re finding the videos helpful!!

[@parkerjk11]

Can’t thank you enough this is amazing!

[@avaelysedo25]

I have to start oral presentations tomorrow as a MS II for my standardized patient, and they didn't tell us what to do besides giving a rubric! Thank you SO much for this. I pray it goes decently tomorrow! This was fabulous.

[@MonicaJeong]

Yay! I’m glad it was helpful! Good luck!!! 🍀 you’re gonna be great!

[@YssaMD]

You are such a big help Dr. Jeong. Thank you so much for creating these videos.

[@MonicaJeong]

Thank you so much!!! So glad they're helpful :)

[@julianaverruck3696]

Thank you so much for that Dr. Jeong!! The 20 videos of "Medical Students" Playlist are full of amazing content! I am an IMG starting rotations in the US next week and am sure that all those tips will help me a lot! Loved loved it!!

[@MonicaJeong]

Yay thank you!!! Good luck! 🍀👍🏻 I’m sure you’ll be amazing. 🤗

[@leewj8393]

These are golden! Thank you so much!

[@MonicaJeong]

Yay thank you!!! ☺️☺️☺️

[@musicbeachdance]

This was the most helpful video and explanation that I've seen on how to give a case presentation. Thank you 🙏so much!

[@MonicaJeong]

Yay! Thank you so much for watching!! :)

[@sanasseri1797]

wow! just started my inpt FM rotation and spent a week struggling on expectations and aspects of a good presentation. This was extremely helpful!

[@MonicaJeong]

I'm so glad! Thank you!!! :)

[@jam62733]

Please do more videos like this. It was so so helpful!

[@MonicaJeong]

Thank you!! Working on an AKI one now :)

[@varunnurav6912]

That's a great presentation! Can you please do series of videos on common Inpatient diseases? That would be very helpful.

[@AnaH-qu1eh]

this was so helpful, thank you!

[@MonicaJeong]

Yay! I’m so glad!! 😊😊😊

[@arunaugustine568]

Thanks for these videos! Currently going through rotations.

[@MonicaJeong]

Yay! You got this!!

[@mrplenty.7145]

I needed this

[@mrplenty.7145]

Thank you

[@mandipkmann]

Love this can you do another one

[@glorymgboji1732]

Love your channel! Could you please do a video on how you do admissions? And how you handle them in addition to your other responsibilities for the day?

[@MonicaJeong]

Thank you!! I’m working on one about how to do admissions! ☺️

[@andrewthrockmorton7926]

No shot any attending I’ve ever staffed with would let me finish this presentation. They hardly let me finish a 60 second elevator presentation before interrupting for information I would’ve told them if they didn’t interrupt.

[@ViolaMaster]

Awesome videos, I just recently came across your channel and I binge-watched almost all of your Med students videos! I am starting rotations in the summer so this is great info. As a med student, how many patients can we expect to take care of every day and are we expected to present on them every day or just at random? Thank you!

[@MonicaJeong]

Wow thank you!!! Usually you carry 2-3 patients, 4 if you’re really on a roll. Yes, you do present your own patients every day. Good luck! 🤗

[@ViolaMaster]

@@MonicaJeong Awesome thank you so much! I can't wait to watch the rest of your videos!

[@indiandancey]

Hi Monica! Thank you for making this channel! Is it possible to share the document you were reading from so I can visually organize the information when I practice?

[@MonicaJeong]

I'm sorry I somehow missed this comment!! I'd be happy to, but now I can't find it anymore. 😭 I'll be sure to share it for my next example presentation video!

[@ginashultz9671]

Hey please keep uploading when you have time

[@MonicaJeong]

Resuming weekly videos in July! :))

[@fuevue2913]

This is my first time hearing a thorough Cardio presentation. The presentation is pretty long and lasted 9 minutes. My gut reaction is that is too long, but I'm not familiar with patient presentations in Cardio. What time should I aim for?

[@jsphfullmer1]

So is this like...realistic? Staring intern year next week. Hard for me to imagine ever presenting even one complex patient this perfectly, let alone achieving this level of quality consistently. How does this compare with the sort of presentation a real, average resident gives for their fourth patient on a random Tuesday afternoon? Do I need to be this good??

[@chyi419]

Hopeful July intern here, do I have 9 minutes to do an oral presentation per patient as PGY-1? How long is it appropriate for a presentation as PGY-1? I really appreciate your videos! Such a 💎!

[@MonicaJeong]

Thank you!! :)) Depends on which specialty you go into. If you’re going into medicine, then admission presentations (H&P’s) can easily take longer than 9 minutes if your attending interrupts or you end up discussing the assessment and plan as a team. Don’t worry so much about timing yourself. What matters is that you learn what’s useful to include and what’s not as useful. Some patients are complicated, and there’s no way to keep the presentation less than 10 minutes. Hope that helps!

[@Bill.R.124]

Wow. Really comprehensive. I'm a nursing instructor and trying to get my nursing students to "think" more like a doc and be really organized in their report. They often fail to provide the appropriate background and diagnostics r/t the condition. They often speak with vagueness and without detail, leaving out the entire pmHx and diagnostics often. Although this is much more in-depth, they can learn from your organization and learn to point out the key points (e.g., likely no ACS due to no ischemic changes on EKG and negative trops).

[@dalba3506]

This was extremely helpful, I am just finishing first year of medical school and its comforting knowing the key themes to absolutely kill it for future oral presentations. Thank you so much for doing this!!

[@marwanahmed5820]

I hop u write the presentation here ☺️

[@MonicaJeong]

I wish! I couldn't find my note, unfortunately :( But I'll definitely be posting notes with each of these from now on!

[@ThaPoetess]

Good oral presentation but my attendings would not let us read our presentations 😂

[@MonicaJeong]

Ugh, hate when attendings do that! Such a waste of time and completely misses the learning points of an oral presentation, in my opinion!

[@hangfamilyfarms54660]

Why u reading off

[@codie4978]

Hi there, I’m new to oral presentations. What programs do you use so you’re able to add notes to the video?

[@MonicaJeong]

Hi! Thanks for watching! Sorry, not sure what you mean. Are you asking what video editing software I use?

[@codie4978]

@@MonicaJeong Hi Monica, Yes, I am just wondering what you use to film, then add in the notes. I am new to this, so I want to film similarly to you in this video, while adding notes, similarly to how you’ve done.
