Schedule: Second Tuesday of each month
at 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM
Links to Curricular Area: This venue links
to all curricula areas with each division hosting one Grand Rounds
talk per year on a topic relevant to their specialty.
Primary Goals: Grand Rounds is designed
to provide clinically relevant education to DOM faculty, non-faculty
physicians, residents, medical students, and pharmacy students.
Each presentation covers a medicine topic in detail, with a focus
on recent and significant advances in medical care. Speakers are
to provide sufficient background information as to educate trainees,
while also providing enough depth of knowledge as to provide a
continuing medical education experience. It is the desire to create
an interactive lecture with several different formats, including
panel discussions, presentations with a patient, audience response
systems, and field trips. CME credit is provided.
Resources: Speakers supply relevant handouts
to the audience. An audience response system is available for
use. Morrison's conference room accommodates a wide variety of
teaching styles and presentation formats. Many audio/visual systems
are supported.
Method of Resident Evaluation: Resident’s
are required to attend, but will not be evaluated formally based
on this venue.
Method of Venue Evaluation: After every
talk, the resident’s and faculty will evaluate the presentation.
The organizers review the audience feedback after each event to
improve the quality of the presentations. Once per year, the resident’s
will evaluate the program in general and specifically the value
of each venue.
