Patient Care

Clinical grand rounds are conducted in the medical field where case histories are utilized to demonstrate clinical presentation of diseases. Medical specialists present their point of view on the different aspects of the patient’s status in relation to etiology, diagnosis, treatment protocol and prognosis.

The “patient” in Public Health Grand Rounds is the community and the “status” is a public health concern in the community requiring an intervention. In Public Health Grand Rounds, public health specialists present their views on the different aspects of the “patient’s status."
