Medical College of Wisconsin Endocrine Grand Rounds

About the Endocrine Grand Rounds Series

Endocrine Grand rounds is an educational conference based on clinical and basic sciences in endocrinology at the Medical College of Wisconsin campus and occurs on the first Thursday of each month. The goal of this conference is for endocrinologists, endocrine surgeons, endocrine fellows, physician assistants, nurses, dietitians, nurse practitioners, PhD researchers, residents, and students to have a venue to learn a variety of clinical and basic science topics as well as recent benchmarks in the field for the benefit of improving patient care and research on a vast array of topics in endocrinology.

Participants who engage in the educational intervention will be able to:

Discuss state-of-the-art research in endocrinology.
Practice updated clinical skills for more effective diagnosis, management, and treatment of endocrine disorders and related sequelae.
Apply updated knowledge and clinical skills in improving patient care.
