Presentation Skills using Power Point Presentation

Presenting a topic using PowerPoint is a skill that demands thoughtful planning, clarity of content, and consistent practice. When executed well, it enhances the quality of a presentation and sustains the attention of the audience.

It is often observed that speakers tend to overcrowd their slides with excessive information and subsequently read directly from them. This detracts from the effectiveness of the presentation. With appropriate guidance, this tendency can be readily corrected.

At the previous meeting, an announcement was made regarding a session on effective PowerPoint presentations, focusing on essential principles, common pitfalls, and techniques for confident delivery. We are pleased to inform that Dr Arjun Rajagopalan, former Medical Director, Trustee, and Head of the Department of Surgery at Sundaram Medical Foundation for over two decades, has graciously agreed to address our students on best practices in case presentation using PowerPoint.

Dr Rajagopalan is widely regarded as an outstanding teacher and an accomplished orator. He is a distinguished graduate of Madras Medical College and was awarded the Best Outgoing Student of his cohort. His session will be concise, insightful, and of high practical value, with a duration of approximately 20–25 minutes.
