Grand Rounds are an essential tradition in the medical education sphere. Originating from the practice of making "rounds" of patient beds in a teaching hospital, Grand Rounds have evolved to become forums where doctors, students, and other healthcare professionals can learn about the latest advancements, intriguing clinical cases, and the nuances of patient care. They provide an opportunity for a collective deep dive into challenging diagnoses, treatment plans, and innovations.

Defining Grand Rounds[edit | edit source]

Grand Rounds are organized meetings where medical professionals present a specific clinical case to their peers, facilitating knowledge exchange and collective learning. They can span various specialties and offer insights into rare medical conditions or intricate surgeries, highlighting the latest research, techniques, and findings.
