Several aspects of the Clinical Vignette format are distinctive. The aim of each report is to transmit a single concept or pearl. How to do it. Each institution should choose one vignette, with a second one in reserve. Vignettes must be actual cases seen by the presenter.
Material is chosen that is timely and instructive for the planned audience.
Presentations from other than medical services have been well received. An absolute essential for success of this format is rapid movement. Audience attention spans are short, and each sentence of each presentation must contribute. Irrelevant data are deadly. There is a strict time limit of five minutes for each vignette.
