After the success of the first Respiratory Care Idol Auditions at last year’s International Respiratory Congress (13 were selected to present at this year’s Congress in Anaheim), the AARC Program Committee is happy to announce that again, they will be holding open auditions for new speakers at this year’s International Respiratory Congress, Dec 13-16 in Anaheim, California. While the number of auditions is limited by time constraints, the rules to become a Respiratory Care Idol are very simple:
Applicants must be AARC members and must have never lectured at the AARC Congress.
Accepted applicants will be given up to 10 minutes to present a shortened version of their full 40-minute presentation.
Each presentation must consist of an introduction, body, and conclusion.
Presenters must use PowerPoint slides in the style of usual plenary lectures at the AARC Congress.
Experienced speakers, all of them considered successful presenters at the AARC Congress, will serve as audition judges.
Presenters will be graded on appeal of topic, knowledge of content, quality of visual aides, delivery of lecture, and adherence to the 10-minute time limit. Important: Topics must not be simply marketing material provided by a manufacturer.
Winning presenters and their lectures will automatically be accepted for presentation at next year’s Congress in San Antonio, Texas (must be the same topic presented at the audition) and presenters will receive complimentary registration for the 2009 Congress.
