the presenter was very knowledgeable about the topic, but sometimes she communicated too much detailed information that was not listed on the slides. sometimes it was difficulty to comprehend.

this is a lot of information to convey in a 2 hour session. bullet points for topics and important points and additional sessions to for related topics,i.e omd related to dysphagia etc would be helpful.
