Otolaryngology Grand Rounds Schedule

Otolaryngology Grand Rounds

Grand Rounds is currently being held Via WebEx.

The Department of Otolaryngology Grand Rounds are held in Sam Jackson Hall Room 5314. Take the C elevator to the 5th floor and the room is straight ahead. Grand Rounds conferences are from 7-9 am on the Mondays listed below. The schedule is updated on our website as changes come through. Please email the ENT Grand Rounds with any questions.

Much remains unknown regarding the mechanisms underlying otolaryngologic diseases, their best treatments and treatment outcomes; filling in this knowledge gap is essential to delivering optimal patient care and by presenting current research knowledge deficits are identified and begin to be filled in.  This enables attendees to make changes to their individual practices to improve delivery of patient care.  

Learning objectives will be specified by each speaker; objectives will be specific and pertinent to each research project. 

To receive credit, you must be present for the entire session and you must sign in and sign out.  No credit will be given to participants who are more than 15 minutes late at the beginning of the session. No credit will be given to participants who leave before the close of the session.
There are no fees to participants who attend Grand Rounds.
