    3. Evidence Based Medicine (EBM)

    4. Beware of Brand Names and Logos Do not use product/brand names or commercial logos in your presentation. Use scientific or generic names for referencing PhRMA products. Product logos and slogans should not be used. Institution logos are permitted in your presentation. Acetaminophen (Tylenol)

    5. Stay on Point Your slides should: Promote interest Clarify or emphasize ideas Summarize the key points

    6. Lay It On! But Not Too Heavy Avoid overcrowding. Font on a 2" x 2" slide should be readable without magnification (no smaller the 18 point, however 24 point is preferable). Avoid using too much text. Include only necessary text and arrange it on the page with other graphics or lettering for emphasis.

    7. Keep it Simple Convey only one main idea per slide. Express ideas in as few words as possible. Use several simple slides, instead of one complex slide to convey points. Use no more than 1 - 2 slides per minute.

    8. Design Tips Utilize blank space for extra impact. Use both capital and lower case letters. All caps can be difficult to read. Utilize bold, italics, underline, font size and bullets for emphasis. Avoid long columns, figures or big tabulations.

    9. Color and Graphics Use dark text on light background. Try to use no more than three colors as your primary color palette. Use black for axes on graphs. Try using various shades of gray or textured shades for delineation in graphs.

    10. Charts and Graphs

    11. Acknowledgements Contributors such as colleagues or institutions providing data used or useful in your research may be included on an acknowledgements slide. However, acknowledgements are considered disclosures when identifying contributors who provide financial, product or service support (i.e., commercial entities, government , non profit/not for profit organizations/institutions). Such sponsors or contributors must be identified on your disclosure slide(s).

    13. Remember… It is all about the experience. Your slides play a critical role in the attendee experience. Attendees rely on your slides to utilize the information you provide in their personal practices or research following the meeting. Your slides should: Reiterate the essentials of your talk. Serve as the printed highlights and details or your talk following the meeting.
