The Grand Rounds tradition is unique to the
medical profession with deep historical roots.
Today, it provides an opportunity for all
practitioners, from the most junior trainee to
the most senior diagnostician, to learn and
exchange ideas in a common forum.
Yale Diagnostic Radiology is pleased to carry
on this tradition with a wonderful array of
important topics addressed by true experts in
our discipline.
Please join us for our Grand Rounds series of
lectures this season.
