How to Give Badass Oral Presentations as an Intern and Medical Student!

Hi, I'm Prerak Juthani - an internal medicine resident at Stanford and I'm here to talk about the importance of oral presentations. Ever feel tongue-tied during morning rounds? You're not alone. But guess what? Crushing oral presentations is a secret weapon for Internal Medicine residents (and residents across all specialties more broadly). This video is intended to boil down the basics and help you see exactly how to thrive.

TL;DR I'll walk you through everything you need to know, from understanding why oral presentations matter to mastering the essential format. You'll learn how to craft a strong one-liner to grab attention, keep your presentation focused with interval events, and present like a pro using the SOAP format. By the end, you'll be ready to confidently deliver impactful presentations during rounds and impress your attendings.

By the end of this video, I hope you feel like you know how to:
Sharpen your clinical reasoning (thinking on your feet is a doctor's superpower!)
master communication skills (because clear explanations save lives)
impress your attendings (stand out from the crowd!)
boost patient care (effective communication = better outcomes)
