Grand Rounds

As part of Montefiore Medical Center’s commitment to education, we routinely hosts grand rounds, formal meeting at which physicians discuss important medical issues and the clinical case of one or more patients. Grand rounds provide physicians with an opportunity to continue their education beyond the medical school setting, with the ability to learn new information and enhance their clinical reasoning skills.
