The Department of Pediatrics Grand Rounds is a regularly scheduled Continuing Medical Education (CME) series designed to provide physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, trainees, and other healthcare professionals with current, evidence-based information that enhances clinical knowledge and improves patient care. Each session features expert faculty from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine or invited speakers from other institutions who present a broad range of pediatrics topics. These may include advances in clinical practice, medical research, quality improvement, patient safety, medical education, and emerging issues affecting children's health.
Sessions are held throughout the academic year on Wednesdays at 12:15 p.m. and are accredited for Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit. Eligible participants may also have the opportunity to earn Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Part II credit for select presentations. Individual session listings include presentation topics, speaker information, and registration or attendance details when applicable. For those who are unable to attend a live session or would like to review a presentation, all Pediatrics Grand Rounds are recorded and archived. Recordings are available through the link below and may be viewed at your convenience.
We welcome all healthcare professionals, faculty, residents, fellows, students, and members of the community with an interest in pediatrics healthcare to attend.
