Abstract

Lectures are a key tool for large group teaching in continuing professional development and continuing medical education within the health care professions. However, many practitioners who deliver lectures have not had the time or opportunity to participate in formal training on how to give an effective presentation. In this article, we will provide a comprehensive guide for creating and presenting an effective lecture. We will discuss evidence-based principles of effective teaching, slide organization and design, active learning, and public speaking.
