1. Select a disease you would like to research
2. Your presentation should be made using PowerPoint. You must create a multi-slide presentation for the information
indicated below in #4, as well as a separate title slide and a separate References slide.
3. It must include a combination of figures/pictures and text and it must use pathophysiology terminology.

4. For your chosen disease, you must provide comprehensive and complete information about each of the following:
a) General, overall description of the disease (5 pts)
b) Prevalence of the disease in the U.S. population (2 pts)
– (e.g., 1 in 100,000 people; 30% of the population)
c) Risk factors and etiology (5 pts)
– list and explain the factors associated with the development of your disease topic
d) Pathogenesis/pathophysiology (15 pts)
– explain how the disease damages the body (cell/organ changes – how do the risk factors/etiology
actually cause the clinical manifestations to occur)
e) Clinical manifestations and diagnostics (15 pts)
– list all major manifestations associated with your disease along with all diagnostic information
(imaging, lab work, etc.)
f) Complications/sequelae (10 pts)
– list all major complications/sequelae that may occur as a result of the disease
g) Treatment options (10 pts)
– list major treatments used for the disease and explain how each treatment works to cure and/or
manage the disease
h) Prognosis (3 pts)
– provide the outcome of the disease with and without treatment
5. You must use a minimum of 5 clear, appropriate figures/tables associated with the information you provide. Each
figure must be relevant to your topic, clear and easy to read, and not a duplicate of another figure. Each figure must
have a separate title and reference in order for it to be considered 1 figure (if a picture has more than 1 image, but
only 1 title, it is considered to be 1 FIGURE). (10 pts)

Huffington Post, etc. If you are in doubt if it is appropriate – ASK ME.
– you MAY use other websites to get your pictures – verify that the pictures are actually showing the disease that you
are researching. You must provide both in-text citations and citations in your references section for your images.
– you MUST PARAPHRASE your information – no direct quotes are allowed!
7. Presentation quality, organization, and flow (10 pts)
– must be in orderly, logical fashion that is neat, easy to follow and read
8. Spelling, grammar, and pathophysiology terminology (5 pts)
– information is well-written, free of spelling mistakes, and uses correct pathophysiology terminology throughout
