 Final Oral PowerPoint Presentation

In this final assignment you will integrate the work you've done throughout the term, critically evaluating all that you've learned to develop a presentation on your community needs and a proposed practice plan that would address the needs of your community. This plan does not have to be the realistic version of what you will do when you graduate. Instead, think of this as a future aspiration. We're developing a plan for how a midwife could impact your community–not just what you will do in your first job. I hope you follow these plans someday, but what I know is that you can't reach a goal that you can't dream about, so for today we are just going to dream about the best work a midwife could do in your community. You will deliver your presentation to your small group and course faculty during weeks 10 & 11. After each presentation, we’ll have time for group discussion and feedback. 

Each student will have 8-10 minutes to deliver their presentation. Please practice your timing! You will be asked to stop if you are more than 1 minute overtime, and you could lose points for all sections that you didn't complete! 

Correct APA guidelines must be followed. See NM700  Tool Box. Slides should use images and bullets and should not be wordy. (25-30 words per slide is an acceptable guideline). Follow these best practices for slide presentations.Links to an external site. 

Submit slides as a pdf file to the dropbox the day you present.

1. Brief Community Introduction (1 slide) 30-45 seconds

• General Description of the community
• Location
• Rural/Urban

1. Community Demographics (1 slide) 1 minute

• Most significant community demographic data: 
  • Racial and cultural makeup by percent of the population

• How the people were recruited
  • What bias might have been introduced in your sample? For example, if you posted a survey to social media and you are friends with many people in the birth community, you may have more respondents who have a favorable view of midwives. This doesn't mean your data is meaningless, but it's important to be aware of our biases when we interpret information. 
• How many or what percentage gave each response
