The David Meyers’ Grand Rounds
Grand Rounds
The Department of Family Medicine Grand Rounds is a monthly one-hour lecture series held on the first Thursday of each month at 11am ET. Each talk explores non-clinical topics relevant to primary care, spanning areas such as health systems, population health, public health, workforce, health finance, and health communication. Our audience includes Family Medicine clerkship students, residents, and departmental and affiliate faculty and staff.
