Military Social Work: How to Interpret and Decipher Military Experience During the Assessment Process (Webinar)

A good understanding of a service record will lead to more revealing follow-up questions, and help determine etiologies and patterns of behavior. The information provided in this webinar will provide participants with a guide to follow when encountering patients with a military service history.
This course is offered online. Information regarding how to access the course will be provided one week prior to the course date.Registration for this course is closed. Visit the CE Course Catalog for more offerings.

Lunch 'N' Learn: Data Visualization
May 22, 2017 - 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET
Presenting data effectively leads to people actually reading our data and reports. When we can engage people with intentional reporting, our audience will be more engaged and able to take informed action. In my presentation, I will cover some of the research behind presenting data intentionally. We will review before and after transformations and dive into the steps taken to create deliverables rooted in data visualization technique. This process includes choosing the best chart type and correctly using of color, arrangement, text, and chart design. These are steps that you can immediately apply to your work. You will walk away knowing the anatomy of a good visualization, and will have more tools to better design your PowerPoint presentations, reports, fact sheets, dashboards, and conference posters.
Learning Objectives:
Students will be able to apply graphic design best practices to enhance data visualizations with simple, implementable steps
Students will be better equipped to present data that tells a story, leading to increased audience engagement and data-driven decision making
Lunch will be provided!
