Use
brief but detailed and descriptive phrases (e.g., pain and stiffness in
joints, decreased range of motion, swelling, tenderness)
The Outline Content: Your Outline should contain
the following topics/subtopics in this order. Also, remember that your

topics/subtopics (statistics/epidemiology, costs, anatomy &
physiology/etiology, diagnosis/treatments/prognosis) from the body of your

IV. Reference Section and Internal Citations
Internal
Citations – These are not listed on a separate page, but rather are placed
throughout the Outline via in-text citations anytime you paraphrase, use
direct quotes, or want to use visual/audio components from other sources.
Therefore, all source material should be cited.
Reference
Slides

a final “References” list of a minimum of five (and no more
than 10) academically and scientifically credible sources used for facts
shared in your Outline.
Include
a final “Media References” list of all images, videos, graphs,
