Research Grand Rounds
University of Louisville Research Grand Rounds, held each Thursday from 12 p.m. - 1 p.m. in the DOM Conference Room, is a unique grand-rounds-style conference aimed at giving more prominent visibility to the research faculty in the UofL Department of Medicine.
The sessions help our trainees to integrate and learn what those researchers do, and cross-fertilize research ideas for more funding opportunities and more collaborative scientific output.
