Presenting at a Scientific Conference
Cindy Prins, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Medicine – Population Health Sciences, University of Central Florida
Your abstract was accepted. Now what?
Delta Omega has added another Professional Development presentation on just that, and this one will be hosted as a meeting instead of a webinar so you can participate and ask questions!
Presenting your work at a scientific conference is an exciting professional milestone, but turning your research into an effective conference presentation brings a whole new set of considerations.
Join Delta Omega for “Presenting at a Scientific Conference” with Cindy Prins, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Medicine – Population Health Sciences at the University of Central Florida.
Whether you’re preparing for your first scientific conference or looking to strengthen your presentation skills, this session will explore what goes into communicating your work effectively in a professional conference setting.
Perfect for students, early-career public health professionals, and anyone looking to feel more prepared the next time it’s their turn to present their work.
