General Surgery M&M
Presentation Template
(use your own color scheme)
The “Why”
• The goal is to use the M&M powerpoint
presentations as a repository of
learning/teaching material.
• We can’t do it without you.
Some Suggestions
• The presentations will be voice-recorded, so please
speak clearly.
• The presentations will be used by many audiences, so:
– avoid mentioning patients’ names during the presentation;
– put the patient’s name only on the first page (it will then be
blurred out before posting on website);
– do not put surgical consultant’s name anywhere in the
presentation;
– use font size  24;
– avoid typographical errors like the plague; and,
– don’t cram too much material in each slide (like this one).
Last bit of editorialization
• Use the following slides a guide; add and
adjust as you deem necessary (but not too
much).
• And thanks in advance for doing a spotless
job…
History of Present Illness/
Past Medical History
• This will bring the audience up to speed to
the time the patient was seen by your team.
• For PMH, please use your judgment (but
only if it’s good) and keep it relevant (e.g.
childhood tonsillectomy in a multi-trauma
patient is perhaps not so relevant).
Physical Examination
• Self-explanatory
Clinical Impression
After the history & physical exam, what did
you think was going on? (no cheating)
Investigations
• Laboratory
• Imaging
– When reporting CT and other radiographic
findings, don’t copy radiologist interpretation;
rather, highlight the salient points in your own
words.
