Medical and Psychiatric Grand Rounds PU pre-meds are welcome to attend grand rounds at the University Medical Center at Princeton and Princeton House. Feedback from those who have attended has been extremely positive… “these are great meetings because you get to hear about what’s happening in wide range of practice areas, and you get a sense for the kinds of conversations that doctors have with one another…” The goal for attending these sessions should not be mastering the content, but rather gauging your interest and excitement about being amongst healthcare professionals and the kinds of issues they will discuss.
If you would like to attend psychiatry grand rounds (which are at Princeton House) but do not have transportation, please see Ms. Deutsch to arrange to participate via closed circuit at the hospital.
Attendance is free and open to all – but you must stop at HPA to pick up a pass if you’d like to attend.
