Grand Rounds gives guest clinicians the opportunity to come to Touro to speak on various clinically-relevant topics. The goal of Grand Rounds is to get the pre-clinical student body familiar with the types of discussions you will be expected to actively participate in starting with 3rd year rotations and lasting throughout your career.

Grand Rounds Lecture will occur periodically throughout the 2016-17 school year and it is highly recommended that you attend regularly.
