  1. In-depth presentations on a topic in clinical or investigative dermatology
  2. Patient presentations/discussion which serve both an educational function through discussion of interesting or problematic cases, and to facilitate exchange of ideas regarding patient care.

Protocols are submitted for all patients. For information on how to schedule a patient for this patient conference, see below.

How to schedule a patient for Derm Grand Rounds Patient Conference:

Normally Patient Conferences take place on the 2nd, 4th, and (when applicable) 5th Wednesdays of the month. However, the schedule for the 2009-2010 academic year may deviate at times from this format. In an attempt to allow enough time to properly discuss each patient, normalize the number of patients coming to the conference and provide a more informative experience for the conference we ask that you follow this procedure:

  1. Check the schedule to confirm the date for the next patient conference.
  2. Download a Patient Protocol form by clicking here, and complete the form.
  3. Email that form in advance to Nic Compton, Chief Resident.
