Case Study Guidelines.html

 

It's time to think about your Case Study project. On your discussion board, under "case studies," please leave a post telling me what advanced disease process you'd like to research and present. Once a disease is "claimed," no one else may present it. Please be creative with your disease choice. I also encourage you to select something specific, rather than a broad disease such as breast cancer, etc. as it will be difficult to properly investigate all of the types, etiologies, etc in our limited time period. 

Requirements: 

  • As a reminder, your case study is a virtual presentation accompanied by a concept map OR flow chart of the disease you choose.
  • There is no limit for the length of your presentation, but it must be at a minimum 35 slides including notes. Your references slide(s) at the end of your presentation are not to be included in your 35 slide minimum. 
  • Utilize the notes function on powerpoint to add your research, talking points, and the "meat" of each slide. This is where the "content" section of your rubric will really be analyzed (and graded).
  • Please feel free to be creative. Create unique patients, have fun with your presentation. The only strict requirement that I ask of you is to thoroughly investigate the disease pathophysiology (like we have been doing in discussions). Other than that- have fun, be yourself, and show off what you've learned. 

Other tips: 

  • Presentation: If this is your first powerpoint presentation, here are some tips. Keep your slides streamlined and pleasant to view. Don't cram a lot of "junk" on each slide. Use the notes function for what you would say if you were giving this as an oral presentation to your unit, your fellow students, and your instructor. 
  • Sources: Check your facts. Use multiple scientific sources (recent medical journals preferred), evidence based practice, and demonstrate your clinical reasoning skills.
  • Format: If you are technologically savvy (or interested in learning more), you can supplement your presentation by recording it in prezi, ispring or Camtasia. There may be other presentation softwares out there. If you are interested in exploring those, go for it! Please just touch base with me via email if you'd like to pursue an alternative presentation format. 
  • Extra Points: In the past, students have created "fact sheets" to "pass out" to their peers (posting this virtually, of course). I've also had students include audio/video clips of themselves describing the disease, talking to their coworkers, simulations, etc. Again, please feel free to add whatever else you'd like on to your submission once you've met the content requirements. 

If you are having trouble coming up with a topic, here are some topics previous students have presented. Have fun!
