Public Health Grand Rounds
The Department of Health's Public Health Grand Rounds series features presentations by specialists and panels of experts about significant public health issues and the challenges they pose. This series is intended to promote a dialogue within the department and with the Vermont professional community.
In the health care setting, Grand Rounds are used to present case histories to illustrate the clinical presentation of a disease, to provide a context in which participants can review basic information, and focus discussion on several possible ways to frame and address a problem. Specialists present perspectives on the etiology, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan for a patient's presenting problem. This educational format is used in a variety of professions.
Please see the schedule of presentations below, and join us for an always interesting discussion.
Time: 8:30 – 9:30 AM
Location: Health Department Conference Room 2B; 108 Cherry St., Burlington
