Sooner or later you will find yourself in a position to prepare a presentation about a clinical topic. You can either kill your audience’s curiosity or you can excite them, it’s up to you. Here is my approach to how to excite your audience:
Your time with the boss -the attending physician- will always be very limited. Often you will only have two minutes to present a patient, discuss the results and make a treatment plan.
This is difficult, but it is possible.
The other day I had an important matter to discuss with the attending. He had to be at another meeting, so I walked him to the meeting, which took two minutes and we managed to solve the problem during that time.
But to get this done preparation and a plan is necessary.
In a changing work environment we permanently have to learn new skills to become and stay uptodate. In a 60-hour-week it can be challenging to acquire new knowledge and skills. But with the right plan it is possible.

Here are my 4 steps to make sure you get the most out of your chance.
Today is the official start! This blog is designed for Physicans, Medical students and anybody, who is passionate about medicine and wants to grow in his job and reach his full potential.
Nowadays doctors face many challenges everyday. We deal with health care problems and understaffing in a rapidly changing medical environment. We are expected to heal, teach, do research, talk to relatives, meet the new quality standards and deal with the numbers.
In spite of these challenges, in my opinion, physicians are just the luckiest people in the world. Every day we have the chance to have a positive impact on so many different people. And if we want, we can learn new things every day.
In this blog I write about personal growth and leadership in the medical world. If you also want to grow to be a better physician and practice Medicine with Passion this blog is for you!
By the way: The medical world is not that different from any other world. So if you are not into medicine but you want to follow my blog, I’d be happy.
