Public Health Grand Rounds
Through this series, UR faculty, staff, students and community partners can hear about community-based initiatives to reduce health inequities, improve access to care and tackle some of our toughest health challenges. Public Health Grand Rounds (PHGR) are a collaborative effort between the Center for Community Health & Prevention and the Department of Public Health Sciences, and are intended to highlight the link between research, clinical medicine and community health improvement.
We look forward to providing Public Health Grand Rounds both virtually and in person on Fridays, from noon – 1 p.m. Details will be provided for each event in the box below.
Join us for lively discussions with some of Rochester’s community health champions, both Â鶹ÊÓƵfaculty and staff, as well as expert community leaders. Recordings for most sessions can be found below.
You can earn continuing education credits at PHGR! Information about continuing education credits can be found below.
This seminar series is funded in part by the University of Rochester Clinical & Translational Science Institute via grant UL1 TR002001 from National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Additional financial support is provided by gifts to the Department of Public Health Sciences and an endowment to the Center for Community Health & Prevention by Brewster C. Doust, M.D. All support is greatly appreciated.
The spring Public Health Grand Rounds series is now complete. Stay tuned for the fall series, which will return on Friday, September 20. Have a great summer!
