Pediatric Grand Rounds

Pediatric Grand Rounds are presented for three purposes:

• To recognize the important interdependence of research and patient care.
• To describe evolving pathogenetic concepts and therapies for pediatric diseases.
• To provide relevant in-depth review of important pediatric topics.

Most Grand Rounds presentations are available for review; if available, the presentation title will be a hyperlink to the presentation.
