Grand Rounds and Conferences
UCLA Obstetrics and Gynecology Grand Rounds
Overview
The UCLA Obstetrics and Gynecology Grand Rounds are presented for UCLA faculty, trainees, and medical students, as well as community physicians. The OBGYN department at UCLA seeks to promote excellence and quality in clinical care, as well as updates in new research and developments related to our field; and to provide a forum for discussion of topics that enhance medical education of the attendees, provide them with valuable information, and to incorporate learned content into their clinical practice. The program is conducted by UCLA faculty as well as selected guest speakers, invited to share their experience and insight.
The Grand Rounds are held twice monthly on Wednesday mornings from 7:00-8:00 am. Due to COVID-19, the presentations are currently held virtually via Zoom. These events are for professional audience members only.
