Disease Presentation Outline
The disease presentation aims at refining your research and communication skills which are very important should

PART A – a PowerPoint presentation
PART B – disease profile
Below is a detailed breakdown of the components of each part:
PART A: PowerPoint presentation
 Select a disease from the given list: _________________________________________________

PART B: Disease profile
You will prepare a synopsis of your disease for every student in the class. The information you provide needs to fit
onto a regular-sized cue card. These profiles are designed so that they can be glued onto a cue card (two per card)
for studying purposes. Below is a suggested format for your disease profile – the box approximately represents
the actual size of the cue card.

Guidelines for preparing the disease profile for your classmates:
 Once you complete your first disease profile, make about 18 copies of it using Word
 You can fit four (4) copies per page if you use the ‘Landscape’ page setup
 Print these sheets then cut them or Miss Tran can lend you a paper cutter to cut out the copies
 You will need to ask for a paper cutter a day in advance of your presentation date
 You will distribute these profiles to your classmate BEFORE presenting
