PEDIATRIC GRAND ROUNDS - SHH AUDITORIUM - 08:00AM – Tuesday

The goal of the Grand Rounds at Sacred Heart Hospital is to examine current advances in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Distinguished experts are selected to address topics/objectives for the Grand Rounds at Sacred Heart Hospital.

These activities are Evidenced-based or Customary and Generally Accepted Medical Practice and are approved in part or in its entirety for evidence-based content. MECOP anticipates that physicians will be motivated to seek evidence-based CME as their patients come to expect them to practice evidence-based medicine. CME involves a process of identifying a learning need, developing an educational strategy for learning, implementing the strategy, and evaluating the effectiveness of the strategy. An evidence-based approach will help to ensure the validity of clinical content and thus improve the likelihood of a successful outcome to the educational intervention.

Overall Objectives: Through discussion, audiovisual presentation and case analysis, the participant should be able to evaluate, refer, identify, examine and provide guidelines that encourage improved techniques in the treatment of diseases intended to provide better patient outcomes and evidence-based guidelines or consensus viewpoint in preference to personal opinion.
