Pediatric Grand Rounds
Each Wednesday, the Department of Pediatrics offers learning opportunities for pediatric professionals throughout the community - both inside and outside the University. Pediatric Grand Rounds is designed to improve the broad practice of pediatric medicine, including patient care, healthcare research, medical education, public health, and innovation. This is accomplished through recognizing the interdependence of research and patient care, discussing the evolving concepts and therapies for pediatric diseases, and the in-depth reviewing of important pediatric topics. Educational methods include didactic lecture, question and answer sessions, case presentations and discussions, audiovisual materials, and video demonstrations. Grand Rounds sessions are open to the public, and most presentation materials are posted here for review. CME credits are available.
Below is a list of upcoming Pediatric Grand Rounds sessions. This page will be updated as presentation titles and speakers become available; check back often.
