    • 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 2011-12 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:

  • Check the schedule to confirm the date for the next patient conference.
  • Download a Patient Protocol form by clicking here, and complete the form.
  • Email that form in advance to Corinne Taraska, MD, Chief Resident.
