Abstract :
Background: Delivering scientific information is an important skill in transmitting knowledge to the public and often takes the form of power point presentation. However, young undergraduate students tend to overuse slides and exceed time limitations. Aims and Objectives: To develop concision and creativity in medical under graduates Materials & Methods: The class (n=100) was divided into small groups, each group consisting of four members each. Pre– reading assignments on certain topics were given to the class. Information was simply and informally structured into 20 slides and shown for 20 seconds for a total presentation time of 6 minutes and 60 seconds. After a week, the groups were instructed to present the topic through a power point presentation. Perceptions of students of students towards this Pecha kucha (PK) method was assessed through a close– ended questionnaire. Results: Frequency analysis of responses revealed that >70% of the students opined PK presentations helped them to organize content, present concise information and apply creativity. Conclusion: The present study generates significant results which implies that undergraduate medical students should be oriented to create systematic presentations and deliver relevant information
