Internal Medicine Grand Rounds

For the UNMC Department of Internal Medicine, Grand Rounds are an integral component of medical education, teaching new information and enhancing clinical reasoning skills.
Grand Rounds originated as part of residency training to present clinical problems and focus on current or interesting cases. Now, all members of the UNMC community and virtual attendees join to learn from the expertise of our faculty and invited speakers from other renowned institutions.
Attend our Grand Rounds in person on Fridays at 12 pm CST in the Durham Research Center Tower I Auditorium 1002. You may also watch Grand Rounds from your computer, IOS, or android device.
