Fantastic job! I really like your structure and flow that keeps the audience fully engaged throughout the 10 minutes talk. The schematics on the right are super helpful in understanding, and the summary table is very high yield. And I really appreciate that you dig into so many literatures to support your points.

I have always struggled with this topic and this presentation was extremely helpful! You did a great job of presenting just the right amount of detail, and anticipated areas of confusion (ie, for hormones slides you explicitly said which structure produces each hormone, which is often unclear in textbooks). You also did a good job of reminding us of important clinical correlates throughout, for example, emphasizing that although CO increases in pregnancy it is not normal for BP to increase! This felt like a very logical connection to draw and helped reinforce multiple concepts.

Your use of graphs was also very helpful.

Your slide organization with text on the left and an explanatory figure on the right was very effective and made it easy to follow all the details of your presentation. I especially appreciated how clear you were in distinguishing physiologic and pathologic changes in pregnancy (ex: LE edema vs. signs of DVT). Your presentation style was clear, engaging, and dynamic, with effective pauses and transitions. Excellent job overall!

I appreciated that you started off by saying that the topic was large, but only wanted to focus on the most important information for our level of understanding. Your pace and volume throughout was excellent, my attention was not lost at any point of the presentation. The clinical vignette was excellent and I enjoyed how you used it to transition into your presentation. The organ system approach provided the proper focus and allowed the viewer to follow easily. Along with the emphasis on each organ system, I liked the use of visual aids for each component of your presentation. The summary table at the end was a great way to wrap up the presentation and it was great that you circled back to the patient vignette at the end of the presentation. The emphasis on the blood pressure and the possible etiologies was a great way summarize the patient.

Excellent job overall! Thanks for putting in the effort to provide us with an excellent presentation.
