Grand Rounds
Dr Osamu Sakai
RADIOLOGY GRAND ROUNDS
We have Radiology Grand Rounds 6-8 times a year, typically on the first Thursday of the month. Unfortunately, we are unable to have the speaker physically on our campus under the current circumstances. For this reason, Grand Rounds lecture will need to be remote. However, on the bright side, geographical limitations are no longer an issue and we can now easily invite speakers from the West Coast and abroad.
Grand Rounds are excellent opportunities to learn directly from the expert in the field and to get to know the speaker personally. It is a critical component of our education in the department for all levels, including residents, fellows, attendings, medical students and other clinical colleagues.
We have outlined a diverse set of topics for this year and will be carefully selecting a speaker from each subspecialty. In addition, we invite one or two speakers on non-clinical topics every year, such as business, education, diversity, wellness, etc. The topic and content of the lecture is very important. An ideal speaker will help us update our knowledge, improve our practice, collaborate with other institutions on education and research, and for residents, will help guide fellowship selection. Due to social distancing requirements, we are unable to have dinners with the invited speakers. However I am hoping we can set up a virtual (i.e. zoom) chat room to have more individual conversations if the time allows.
Please communicate with your chief residents or section heads if you identify possible speakers.
