How to present a clinical case template

Use a clear, reproducible structure so listeners can follow your reasoning. A practical template and timing for a 10–12 minute case presentation:

  • Title slide: brief case label (age/sex/problem), de-identified, consent noted.
  • Chief complaint + one-line summary (10–20s).
  • History of present illness: timeline, key positives/negatives (1–2 min).
  • Past medical/surgical history, meds, allergies, social/family (30–45s).
  • Exam and vital signs (30–45s).
  • Key investigations with images/tables: show only relevant data, annotate abnormalities (2–3 min).
  • Problem list and prioritized differential diagnoses with brief rationale (1–2 min).
  • Assessment and management plan: immediate actions, long-term plan, responsibilities (1–2 min).
  • Outcome or follow-up if available; teaching points (30–60s).
  • Questions/learning objectives slide to close.

Presentation tips: de-identify data, keep slides sparse (1 idea/slide), annotate images, state uncertainties, and practice timing. Use a final slide with two targeted teaching questions to engage the audience.

Is this for bedside rounds, grand rounds, or a written template (e.g., SALT/SOAP) so I can tailor it?
