Respirology Grand Rounds (RGR)
2005-2006

Objectives of Rounds

Respirology Grand Rounds (RGR) should provide an opportunity for members of the Respirology Community to interact with recognized experts in order to explore the clinical relevance of current research in an environment that is conducive to learning through discussion and exchange of ideas.

RDR will take place generally on the third Friday of each month from 8:00-9:00 at Women’s College Hospital, 76 Grenville Street, Respirology Unit, 6th floor conference room. Breakfast will be available from 7:30-8:00. Rounds can be videoconferenced to other centers in the Toronto region and beyond.
