Testimonials

The course Prepare, Publish, Present helped me prepare for my scientific poster presentation we were tasked with at school along with preparing to present my scientific research to my professors. The way the course emphasized on proper ways of conveying certain data across and making transitions during the oral presentation really helped me a lot. My very first English oral presentation was a major success because of it.

The step by step instruction and personal attention, to my paper and presentation, made all the difference in the confidence I had when presenting my research in English to our medical faculty.

The course Doctor to Doctor to Patient equipped me with the knowledge of properly communicating with patients. As a non-native speaker who wants to pursue a medical career in U.S.A., and not having extensive experience in this area, I am sure I will make great use of the things I was able to get some exposure to in this course.

Most medical lectures are drawings or photos with the sentences that they say in the lecture typed out on the screen! Prepare, Publish, Present shows how to make a series of slides that highlight important information, show concepts and connections in ways that human brains more easily take in and understand information. With my slideshow I knew that the audience would understand my research even when my English speaking was not perfect because it worked so well with what I was saying about my research.

“I took this course during my 1st, 2nd and 3rd years of medical school. When I began, I was somewhat intimidated by the new terminology that is used in medicine, but “Cracking the Code” really helped me to unravel the terms and titles that were used in the field and I started to have some ideas about the terms I was hearing for the first time in my life, what the conditions of human body were, before the medical lectures have even started.”

“Prepare, Publish, Present” is basically how-to’s on being a scientist, how to write an abstract for a research, how to present your data in an easily understandable way, (let’s confess it, no one likes a presentation with full of writings and writings and writings and…) how to evaluate what is already published in the field which really helped me a lot during my years and thanks to this training, I can now be prepared to write or evaluate whatever I come across with during my clinical years.”

“Being a doctor is not merely matching the diseases with the medications but more like treating the “human” itself rather than only the pathology. “Doctor to Doctor to Patient” part is what improves you in this way, you need to establish a trustful communication environment, ask the right questions on your way to your diagnosis, for you to do these, you need to have comprehensive communication skills and be able to share these information with your colleagues, as medical field works in a multidisciplinary approach and right here where you will need the doctor to doctor communication. Perfecting these skills is what makes you a great clinician.”
