AB  - Background: Oral case presentation is an essential skill in clinical practice that is decidedly varied and understudied in teaching curricula.Methods: We developed a curriculum to improve oral case presentation skills in medical students.Results: As part of an internal medicine clerkship, students receive instruction in the elements of a good oral case presentation and then present a real-world case in front of a video camera. Each student self-evaluates his/her presentation and receives evaluations from his/her peers. We expect peer and self-evaluation to be meaningful tools for developing skills in oral presentation.Conclusion: We hope to not only improve the quality of oral case presentations by students but also to reduce the time burden on faculty.
