Grand Rounds

Grand Rounds are a cornerstone of academic medicine, offering regularly scheduled sessions where clinicians, researchers, and trainees present and discuss important cases, new research, and emerging practices. They provide a forum for lifelong learning, encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, and highlight the institution’s commitment to excellence. Grand Rounds also create opportunities for professional networking, visibility of expertise, and the development of new clinical or research initiatives that advance patient care and organizational quality.
