Residency Interviews

Grand Rounds & Case Conference

The Neurology department has a robust Grand Rounds and Case Conference schedule that runs weekly on Wednesdays from 2pm-4pm from September through June. Our Grand Rounds series features a variety of speakers from around the world, as well as our own renowned physicians and scientists. Annual lectures include Diversity Day, Women's History Month featuring all female speakers, and eight named lectures.

Case Conference is an interactive experience that is led by one of our PGY3 or PGY4 residents (or one of our fellows), in addition to a resident group that focuses discussion and questions.

Both Grand Rounds and Case Conference are livestreamed each week. We invite you to log in and join us on Wednesdays from 2-4pm. Below you will find our schedule of upcoming speakers. The access link is the same each week. If prompted, the passcode is 123456.

You can also watch previous Grand Rounds and Case Conferences here.
