Medical School Oral Presentations: Top 6 Mistakes!

ABOUT ME:
I'm Monica, an Internal Medicine attending at University of California, Los Angeles. I'm here to provide high-yield videos for medical students and residents. My favorite topics include how to succeed on clinical rotations, clinical skills, and some good old pathophysiology! I'm also obsessed with my cats and hardcore fitness, but I think there are enough cat and fitness videos out there...

Hi Monica! Can you clarify the difference between reporting lab values straight vs interpretation?
When reporting lab values do we say "hemoglobin is x, decreased from xx baseline" or is that too much?
Is "interpretation" when we state a lab value is abnormal? Or should we be sure to mention that a lab value is abnormal earlier in the presentation when we are reporting them?

[@user-qx4zc3nx8z]

this is so helpful! what if you don't know the ddx? how would you structure your presentation instead?

[@MonicaJeong]

Hm, good question! You really should come up with at least one or two things for your differential diagnosis no matter what. If you can't, seek help from colleagues!

Drs. Lilly and Ginny say social history also impacts diagnosis and treatment, and not just discharge. Meow!
