Formal Case Presentation Instructions Description: The formal patient case presentation is a narrative account of a patient which determines a treatment recommendation based on a review of published evidence to improve patient care. Purpose: To allow the student to demonstrate their ability to apply their drug information skills to clinical practice in caring for a specific patient and to communicate and support their specific patient recommendation based on their review of the primary literature. Patient Assignment: Each student has been assigned a patient in EHR Go. This patient provides the baseline clinical information that forms the basis for the clinical question. Each individual patient case outlines the specific clinical question that the student will be expected to answer. This is an individual assignment. Any discussion of your patient case, literature search, presentation, recommendations, or conclusions with another student will be viewed as an academic integrity violation.

Choose a font that is easy to read. The font size minimum is 18-point to enhance visibility. ○ The font size for citations on a slide can be smaller than 18-point. Presentation Length The presentation will be 20 minutes in length. There will be a hard stop at the end of 20 minutes. ○ There is not a specific number of slides for the presentation but if you speak for 2 minutes per slide you have time for 10 slides total. О The title slide should provide audience with the intent or direction of the presentation. Presentation Structure There should be 5 major sections to the presentation + references. • Introduction and Objectives о Use Bloom's taxonomy in writing your objectives. ○ No more than 3-4 objectives. Patient Information ○ Should be focused on those items specific to your patient. о Audience should be able to visualize the patient and their situation Background ○ Should be focused to areas that are pertinent to your patient case. Literature ○ 2 primary literature sources minimum; 3 preferred O ○ ○ ○ ○ Guidelines are not primary literature. Students may refer to guidelines in their presentation, but they do not count toward the minimum primary literature. Students need to reference an actual literature source. Course notes will not count as a reference. Literature sources should be specific to answering the clinical question presented by your patient. Consider presentation order: strongest to weakest evidence; newest to oldest. Ensure you cover major points of each study; include limitations of the study. Cover author's conclusions but ensure you offer your own critique of the study. ○ Place citation on each slide as well as on a reference list at the end. Recommendations/Conclusions 3-4 solid concluding points ○ Ensure you have your recommendations for the patient's care in your conclusion References • ○ Reference slide should be included. References at the end should be listed in the order they were addressed in the presentation. There will be a 5-minute question and answer period following the presentation. Expectations for Day of Presentation: Students must attend all required sessions for their lab section. Students need to bring their presentation slides on a flash drive to their presentation room. • These slides MUST be EXACT copies of what was submitted into Canvas by the due date of April 9th. Use of slides other than what was submitted by the student into Canvas will result in loss of points up to the full points of the assignment. Students should be professionally dressed as if giving this presentation in front of a professional audience. • Faculty facilitators will direct the students when to start and stop their presentation. Faculty will ask a student to stop their presentation if they go over the time limit. • Each presentation will be 20 minutes in length with 5 minutes of questions so students will need to stay on time. Assessment: Student performance on the presentation will be assessed by the faculty facilitator using the formal case presentation rubric. This is the same rubric that will be utilized on APPEs. The modifiers have been altered for the purpose of this course to: Excellent, Proficient, Competent, Does not meet Expectations. The criteria and descriptors remain exactly the same as what you will see on APPEs.
