Pre-Conference Workshop

SHEA is pleased to hold a half-day workshop before the conference, featuring both didactic learning and breakout group work among participants.

Creating Persuasive Healthcare Pitches Through Data Storytelling and Visual Design

Learn how to transform complex data into clear, compelling messages that inspire action. In this interactive workshop, participants will develop practical skills in data storytelling, visual design, and AI-enhanced communication techniques to create impactful presentations for a variety of audiences. Through hands-on activities and expert feedback, attendees will apply these strategies to a real-world challenge from their own practice or a provided healthcare scenario, leaving with tools they can immediately use to communicate data with confidence and drive meaningful change.

Learning Objectives

  • Apply storytelling, visualization, and message-framing techniques to develop persuasive presentations for clinical, operational, and executive audiences
  • Use selected communication tools, including AI-assisted approaches, to refine key messages, simplify technical content, and create effective visual aids
  • Practice delivering and refining a real-world communication message by incorporating structured feedback from faculty and peers to improve clarity, persuasiveness, and impact
