The Neurology Grand Rounds covers a wide variety of clinical and basic science topics. This CME conference meets for two hours every week. From September through June, Grand Rounds consists of a mixture of didactic and special lectures from faculty and guest speakers, and case presentations by residents. Faculty and guest speakers, usually nationally recognized in their field of expertise, discuss the latest clinical and bench research developments. During the months of July and August, Grand Rounds conducts a Summer Lectures Series which emphasizes basic lectures in the neurosciences.

Responsibility for case presentations is met by the Neurology residents while rotating with the four affiliated hospitals. The presentations are usually didactic in format with residents reviewing the literature and preparing handouts. Grand Rounds are recorded for residents who cannot attend. A file is kept of conference handouts. A core syllabus of clinical and basic science seminars are scheduled as a three-year series, so that each resident is exposed to a wide ranging set of topics during their three year residency.
