Putting Research Into Practice

Our Cardiovascular Grand Rounds offers physicians and other health care providers the opportunity to review and discuss the latest developments in cardiovascular care every Monday morning during our Grand Rounds seasons. 

These weekly meetings feature topics across the spectrum of cardiovascular medicine. Practitioners share research highlights, offer treatment or diagnostic best practices, and collaborate to improve care for those with cardiovascular disease.
