Grand Rounds is a formal educational opportunity for residents, faculty, private practice physicians and mid-level providers to remain current in evidence-based practice guidelines in OTO-HNS. The weekly virtual conference is held on Wednesday mornings (7 - 8 a.m. CST) and requires attendance for trainees.
Residents, fellows and guest speakers present a wide range of otolaryngology topics based on case presentations, historical research and current or evolving practice methods. An integral component of medical education, presentations at ground rounds give the trainee the opportunity to increase their fund of knowledge, improve presentation skills, and encourage them to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team in the care of their patients.
