NEMT 8

In selecting a case to present, each doctor should strive to satisfy the first and second primary purposes for establishing this course, namely to: 1.      Provide a forum for sharing learning experiences with everyone.  Select a case which is more complex, unusual, or which affords a unique learning experience.  You are expected to show completed diagnosis or treatment. 2.      Give doctors additional experience in case presentation with emphasis on comprehensive examination, history taking, diagnosis, treatment planning, and therapy for patients with endodontic disease. It is preferable, but not required, that the case is completed.  Most of the diagnosis or treatment should have been performed by the doctor who is presenting the case.  However, the doctor can include and acknowledge treatment that has been completed/performed by members of their specialist team.  It can be a failure case, which participants usually learn more from than from  a successful case.   In general, the format should provide the Powerpoint format. Each doctor will turn in a CD containing the presentation matarial to Dr. Lin for the final evaluation.  The presentation should be very brief, succinct, and include only the most relevant and important information.  A session of ten minutes is scheduled for the presentation and discussion of each case.  Please limit the presentation to less than 5 minutes.  The remainder of the time will be used for discussion with fellow doctors and Dr. Lin.  The quality of the presentation, including clarity, organization, mannerisms, etc. will be evaluated in determining the grade for the course.
