CV etiquette for research

So, I was involved in 2 major projects when I did my summer research between MS1 and MS2. One project I shared with another medical student, who took the lead role as first author. My other project I had to myself as first author. Each project was presented several times around the country/world at different meetings.

I have two dilemmas concerning how to properly site the research without being misleading.

Dilemma 1: My project was submitted and accepted to meetings that I was unable to attend due to school. In my place, a resident did the presentations. I was maintained as first author at all times. My research was shown in Japan, Hawaii, and Washington, D.C. without me being present. I do not want to mislead the readers of my CV into thinking I physically went to all these places and personally presented the research. However, I would still like to mention it in some way because I think it was cool that my research was shown in all these meetings (and as first author).

Dilemma 2: The project I was working on with the other medical student was presented by that medical student in 2 locations, once as an oral presentation, and once as a poster. I never personally presented the project, but I helped work on the project all summer and earned second author. I would still like to include this on my CV without making it seem like I am trying to trick people into thinking I did the presentations personally.

Basically, I want there to be no question that I am not trying to fool anyone into thinking I went to these places and personally presented the projects, but would still like to keep them on my CV if possible and still make it look professional.

Any tips for me? Thanks in advance.

On mine I have myself bolded and the presenter stared (*). I left out low authors/meetings no one would care about where I was not first author or presenter. Obviously, I am stared/first on most, but a few important co-authors I did not want to leave out. Something like this:

Oral presentations

*Presenter

What do you think of this advice from another thread?

in the same vein as the advice above, i bolded my name and used an underline to denote the presenting author. instead of explaining it at the bottom i explained it in smaller font next to the heading
