Overall, 14 (93%) of the 15 residents thought the experience of giving a conference presentation was very instructive. 12 residents (80%) wanted to experience it again. On the other hand, a few residents requested that giving a presentation be made voluntary and not mandatory.Conclusion: The results of our study demonstrates that giving conference presentations would be a very valuable experience for young doctors. The experience of giving a presentation coupled with prior explanations about its instructive value could positively impact intrinsic motivation.
