Grand Rounds Conferences

MaineGeneral Medical Center's (MGMC) Grand Rounds Conferences generally focus on one clinical issue, the treatment decisions involved with it and how those decisions affect patient care.

Through the presentation of research-based knowledge, participants can apply the knowledge to their clinical practices.

Grand Rounds Schedule

Grand Rounds Conferences are usually held every Thursday from noon to 1 p.m. at the Alfond Center for Health (ACH) in Augusta (Lobby Level, Conference Room 3) and broadcast via Microsoft Teams to those who would like to attend online.
