harvard grand sleep rounds

Each month Harvard University has it's Grand Sleep Rounds. Starting September 26 2011 these sleep seminars will be broadcasted to the University of Toronto. This new forum will provide researchers in Toronto the opportunity to not only watch, but also participate (e.g., ask questions) in the monthly Sleep Rounds.

Bringing the Harvard Sleep Rounds to Toronto is a collaborative effort between the new CIHR Sleep and Circadian Rhythms Training Grant at UofT and the Sleep Training Program at Harvard University.

All those interested in attending these Sleep Rounds are welcome. Any questions concerning these rounds can be sent to Dr. John Peever (john.peever@utoronto.ca). Please note that these are not CME accredited rounds, they are however very good academic rounds.

All rounds are located at the Toronto General Hospital, 200 Elizabeth St, Medical Education Department, Eaton North, Ground Floor: Seminar rooms 1 or 5+6.
