Grand Rounds

The faculty members and fellows of the Division are pleased to accept invitations to present at departmental grand rounds and clinical case conferences at all Harvard affiliated institutions. We have determined this to be the most effective way to communicate our knowledge to the clinical faculty. You are urged to contact us whatever your interest and we will work with you to find an appropriate presenter.
