For example you are going to present Pulmonary embolism:
Go to google search select advance search, Type "Pulmonary embolism". select the language (English). select the format -ppt (power point).
click search. you will see hundreds of good quality power point presentation. Get idea of how to present or "cut and paste"!!!

work smarter, not harder. You don't have to plagiarize - you can just click the links to all the studies they cite, and then cite all those studies. It's not plagiarizing if you're giving credit.
 
agreed - but I don't think that's what 123sandy was implying.
Fair enough. If anyone's dumb enough to copy/paste an entire Powerpoint as their own, then I don't have any sympathy if they get caught. On the other hand, I'd never thought of this, and I'll keep it in mind, if for no other reason than it would be useful to find what other people cite.
 
Yes you are correct. I will not definitely accept the fact of copying some one's presentation. But I believe that it is not wrong to learn good things from others. Learn from other's presentation and give it in your own way. Infact when we do medical presentation most of us are presenting what others have already found/done. Most of them are not your original work.
I welcome your comments!

grammaaaar.
 
This becomes an even bigger issue if you start lifting slides of unpublished data from presentations that have made it into cyberspace somehow. If you're going to lift slides, credit them ON THE SLIDE. Even if you mention "I borrowed this slide from soandso" during your presentation this way you're covered in the future when your presentation makes it into cyberspace somehow and someone recognizes the slide from somewhere.

It's a big deal. Colleagues won't appreciate it. Collaborators won't appreciate it. If you have no idea of the slide origin don't use it. Create your own version.
 
give credit where it is due. It is not that hard to paste onto the slide where you got the idea from.

but yes, i have gone and googled ppt*.* to see what kind of format would be good, just not copied them.

a couple of slides were so great I wanted them and it took about a minute to email the author/presenter of the ppt show and ask them to use them--which all have said yes so far as long as I give them credit. A couple have wanted my ppt to give feedback which was fine with me.
 
Thank you Pathman.
What you did was right. I like to do the same in the future. I am preparing these days for the MRCP(PACES) and I learn several subjects by downloading some good power point presentations. Some are really good!
