Abstract:
The most important purpose of medical meetings is to share knowledge with the audience. Medical meetings should be audience-friendly. The presenter and chairperson play crucial roles in these meetings. We wish to put forward some personal proposals to make meetings audience-friendly. For the presenter, state the conclusion or significance first (in the case of case presentation), cite a fundamental article only, and do not skip reading in the summary slide. For the chairperson, be a timekeeper, stop the presentation when there are important mistakes, and choose a question that illustrates the significance of the study and thus interests the audience. All the meeting participants should understand this and support audience-friendly meetings.
