Global Health Equity Grand Rounds

Global Health Delivery Grand Rounds provide an interactive forum for both speakers and attendees to keep abreast of their colleagues' work, share best practices, and receive constructive feedback from peers in the global health community. Topics can have a research, clinical, or programmatic focus and invited speakers will vary each month. These meetings take place every first Thursday of the month at Carrie Hall at 9:00AM.
