Assignment task:
Public health professionals often make presentations to obtain funding, to demonstrate program effectiveness, to report program successes, or to disseminate research findings. When making presentations, it is important to recognize who you are addressing-your unique audience. Presenting to a board of directors is different than presenting to a focus group or to legislators. Presenting research findings to stakeholders interested in knowing if a public health intervention has been successful presents yet another set of considerations. Therefore, public health professionals must understand their audience and present information in terms that are appropriate for that audience.
Respond to the following points in your initial posting:
1. Describe a presentation (give specifics of time, place, title, etc.) you gave in your practicum or previous coursework. (I gave a presentation in my practicum Florida Department of Health-Gadsden. It was on EMS/ Literature Review: Emergency Department Misuse in Rural Minority Populations) Date: It was in August 3, 2023).
2. Explain what factors are important to make your presentation more meaningful to your audience
3. Reflect on your personal growth and explain what you could do (or have done) to improve your presentation delivery
4. Compare and contrast how you would change this presentation for a more formal audience and a less formal audience
