"3.1 Basic Rules     The following are ten basic rules of how to make the perfect slide presentation for any medical lecture:   1. Never follow a trend but create one and stick to your own style.   2. Each slide has to carry a message that supports or adds to your oral presentation.   3. A slide is not an autocue. If you are only going to read from the slides, you might as well just send them, ask the chair to read them and stay home.   4. Your oral presentation, not your PowerPoint slides, is the carrier of the core message.   5. Do not use the media to hide yourself. The audience came to see you.   6. A slide must not distract people from your performance.   7. Limit the number of slides to no more than 10–12 for a 10-min presentation.   8. Limit the number of words on each slide; six to eight is usually ideal.   9. A PowerPoint should enhance your presentation not be your presentation.   10. Less is more."
