Identify any practice barriers, issues, or problems (including cultural diversity and healthcare literacy).

Discuss best practices for optimal outcomes.

In addition to submitting your presentation, you will also need to lead a discussion. Here are some guidelines:

To prepare for your presentation, rehearse the key points and findings of your research and think about points you can make to initiate the discussion and keep it going.

Develop questions you can ask to initiate the discussion and keep it going.

Summarize the discussion.

Draw conclusions from the collective group discussion.

Keep the presentation interesting, professional, and focused to the topic. APA format is expected and references should be cited. If you are presenting on Microsoft PowerPoint, include references at the bottom of the slide(s) and a final reference list on the last slide.
