| ADDITIONAL COMMENTS | |
| Comments | Try to obtain a very dyanmic speaker who knows about the topic in question. Another idea that our speaker had was to give a powerpoint presentation twice; one utilizing words that a pharm rep would and the second time deciphering the presentation like how a real physician would. |
