From data to decisions: How to avoid death by PowerPoint and accelerate clinical adoption of your study outcomes.
AO CMF Blog: From Data to Decisions – Improving the Impact of Scientific Presentations
An insightful new article titled “From Data to Decisions: How to Avoid Death by PowerPoint and Accelerate Clinical Adoption of Your Study Outcomes” has been published on the AO CMF Blog, co-authored by Prof. Dr. Mohamed Hazem Abdelazeem and Mike Leung.
The article explores practical strategies to help surgeons and researchers communicate scientific findings more effectively, transform research outcomes into meaningful clinical insights, and accelerate the adoption of new knowledge and techniques in clinical practice.
Key recommendations highlighted in the article include:
Know Your Audience: Adapt the language, content, and level of detail to the audience’s background and expertise.
Build a Strong Narrative: Structure presentations around a clinical case or question, followed by supporting data and imaging, and conclude with clear take-home messages.
Make Slides Clear and Effective: Use simple visuals, concise slides, one central idea per slide, and the assertion–evidence approach.
Practice and Prepare: Rehearse presentations, engage with the audience, and prepare for questions rather than relying on slides as a script.
Ensure Technical Readiness: Test equipment and presentation systems in advance and maintain backup copies to avoid technical disruptions.
The article emphasizes that effective scientific communication extends beyond academic presentation. For the craniomaxillofacial (CMF) surgical community, communicating research clearly is essential to translating scientific evidence and innovation into improved clinical practice and better patient care worldwide.
By addressing the connection between research communication and clinical adoption, the article highlights presentation skills as an important part of advancing the CMF specialty.
