Description

The Virtual Grand Rounds Series provides your institution with consistent, high-quality, one-hour educational programs, presented by the Massachusetts General Hospital Psychiatry Academy’s world-renowned faculty.  Led by Program Directors Jerrold F. Rosenbaum, MD, Psychiatrist in Chief at Massachusetts General Hospital, and Maurizio Fava, MD, Executive Vice Chair of the Psychiatry Dept. at Massachusetts General Hospital, the Virtual Grand Rounds Series allows doctors, residents, and medical students to conveniently acquire knowledge about clinical challenges and innovative treatment options for a variety of psychiatric disorders.

Given the time constraints of today's clinical practice, the online format of the Virtual Grand Rounds Series means your medical staff can participate in real-time or choose to view the archived version whenever time allows. When viewed in live format, interactive features are enabled that let program faculty provide live feedback to questions and communicate directly with you and your staff.
