Oral Presentation in Medicine

This book is an educational manual featuring guidelines of spoken communication in medicine giving practical advice on how to convey a scientific message. As there are specific techniques in medical publishing, there are specific techniques in spoken communication in medicine. Different forms of spoken communication are described: informal communication, conference, staff meetings, student courses, are addressed not only from the point of view of the speaker, but also from the session moderator, or in public gatherings in the form of a question or comment. The medical 'public' ranges from the student to the instructor, and the practitioner to the researcher.
