Medical School for Everyone: Grand Rounds Cases

Thursdays, January 5 – March 16, 2017 | 10:00 am | Special Interest Room

No Charge | Pre-Registration Required

Facilitators:

When you’re sick, you go to a doctor to figure out what’s wrong. But how a doctor works is not some impenetrable mystery; rather, there is an art and science that goes into how to diagnose and treat patients. In this course, you will view two thirty-minute lectures per study group session followed by a discussion led by the course facilitators. Each lecture presents a perplexing problem and then shows an expert as he takes steps to figure out the issue and how best to treat it. Insights you will learn are:

• What specific questions doctors ask and why
• What doctors look for during physical exams
• How doctors use a network of information to narrow down a diagnosis

Drawn from actual medical stories, these Grand Rounds take you everywhere from the calm of a doctor’s office to the chaos of an emergency room. Course content is from The Great Courses with Dr. Roy Benaroch, a practicing physician and an adjunct assistant professor of pediatrics at the Emory University School of Medicine.

There is no charge for this course but you must pre-register. A maximum of 15 participants will be accepted.
