The Duke Department of Medicine is uniquely poised to address compelling clinical issues that will directly affect patient care in the coming weeks. Medicine faculty include world leaders in COVID-related clinical and research topics as well as in medical education, and many of them are already preparing talks or discussion points on these topics for their peers and collaborators across the country.
We asked these faculty to create focused 20-minute presentations for a revamped online Medicine Grand Rounds starting April 10, 2020. Join us for a Zoom Webinar each Friday at 8 a.m. for these presentations and Q&A discussion.
The schedule below will be updated regularly with speaker information.
How to attend
Faculty and trainees are asked to register once for the series; you will receive the Zoom virtual conference information in an email. (The email will include a link that is unique to you and cannot be forwarded to others to use.)
