• Your clinical scenario will be placed in AIMS. You will create a clinical question using PPICO. Your question may be patient-specific or general knowledge.
  • Patient-specific questions - Do you need additional demographic information in order to answer the clinical question?
  • General knowledge questions - Demographic information is not needed. You can skip that portion of the presentation. Think about general patient populations. How relevant is this question to a general or specific patient populations?

A majority of the presentation will be spent evaluating a journal article or clinical guideline. You should also consider information from other resources for your introduction and discussion sections of the presentation. Depending on the clinical question, you may want to consider the following resources:

• Original journal articles - Take a look at the original research article if your article is a continuation of previous research.
• Clinical guidelines - Has your article been cited by relevant clinical guidelines?
• Drug or herbal monographs
• Other professional or governmental information
• Other library resources

You will be graded as a group via a Qualtrics rubric. Your group will need to receive a 70% or greater to pass the assignment. If someone misses class the day of the session, the group will give the presentation without the group member. The absent student will make arrangements with Dr. Lehmier or Dr. Baughman and Prof. McEwen to give the entire presentation by them self at a later date. 

Retake Presentation

If your group receives less than 70% on the assignment, students will need to give the presentation a second time for Dr. Lehmier, Dr. Baughman and Prof. McEwen.

A link to a peer evaluation will be provided to you after class. It is formative feedback for all students. A self evaluation also included.  Please provide constructive feedback. You have a week to complete the evaluation.
