Attention

Our pediatric grand rounds series transitioned to a primarily virtual platform on March 18, 2020 to allow our grand rounds attendees to learn and participate from any location. In-person sessions are held at the discretion of the hosting division and will be marked as such here and on the Grand Rounds Calendar. We look forward to learning alongside you every Wednesday morning!
