Public Health Grand Rounds (PHGR)
The WVU Injury Control Research Center is a formal co-sponsor of the Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center Public Health Grand Rounds (PHGR). Offered monthly, the purpose of the PHGRs is to provide faculty and students an opportunity to hear national public health leaders; faculty from Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Public Health; and guests from state and local health departments. Our co-sponsorship of PHGRs has ensured that approximately one-fourth of all PHGRs are devoted to injury topics.
