HIV Grand Rounds

Mirroring the academic grand rounds programs, these CME programs combine traditional academic grand rounds with the innovation and convenience of telemedicine. This weekly webinar program, broadcast from the Perelman School of Medicine, and delivered by top experts in the field, covers a wide range of topics involved with the clinical care of patients with HIV/AIDS.

The one-hour presentations will be designed to be immediately relevant to practicing HIV clinicians and many will be case-based. The final 10 minutes of each one-hour program will consist of a live question and answer period with the presenting faculty member available to answer questions asked by participants who attend in person or via the Internet. These weekly grand rounds programs are intended to provide clinicians with convenient and easily accessible knowledge and clinical skills they need to provide the best medical care for their HIV-positive patients.

HIV Grand Rounds is jointly sponsored by Viral Ed, LLC. and Annenberg Center for Health Sciences at Eisenhower and co-sponsored with the Perelman School of Medicine. This program is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Gilead Sciences and Tibotec Therapeutics. You may contact Ed Hettmen by email at ehettman@viraled.com for additional assistance with the program.
