These individuals represent key decision-makers and care providers who play crucial roles in improving patient outcomes at the practicum site. Their perspectives and feedback were invaluable in refining the communication strategies proposed in the presentation.

Professional Communication:

• Clear and Concise Language: I avoided technical jargon and medical acronyms, focusing on plain language that could be understood by all audience members. I used visuals (charts, graphs) to represent data effectively and enhance comprehension.

• Active Engagement: I incorporated audience participation through polls and open-ended questions. This allowed me to gauge understanding, identify potential concerns, and foster a collaborative atmosphere.

Feedback and Biases:

Dr. [Doctor’s Name] commended the proposal for a centralized communication platform, acknowledging it could streamline physician-nurse communication and improve care coordination. [Nurse Manager Name] expressed concerns about potential technology adoption challenges, highlighting the need for user-friendly interfaces and adequate training.

Reflecting on potential biases, my own background in [Your Field] might have influenced the focus of the presentation.

By understanding the roles and perspectives of different healthcare professionals, I can develop communication strategies that cater to their specific needs and facilitate seamless information exchange.
