MEDEDU 2140 - SCIENTIFIC WRITING & PRESENTATION SKILLS (ONLINE)

Minimum Credits: 1
Maximum Credits: 1
Medical educators and researchers must be able to present their work clearly and effectively. However, important educational material and research data are sometimes obscured by poorly delivered presentations or poorly written manuscripts. The main objective of this fully online, asynchronous course is to help students develop excellent scientific writing and presentation skills. This objective will be achieved through a combination of videos, readings,individual assignments, and team projects in which students will practice specific skills. Students will craft an abstract, write a discussion section of a manuscript, practice methods of disseminating their science to the lay public, create a poster, construct a table or figure, and develop a PowerPoint presentation and record themselves delivering a 10-minute talk. *Please note in previous terms, this course was titled “Medical Writing and Presentation Skills.”
