NIH Clinical Grand Rounds, from the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., will now be available at the UW Health Sciences Center through a live, interactive broadcast. During 1998, the IAIMS Program, based in the Health Sciences Library, is subscribing to the broadcast, which is usually the second Wednesday of each month at 9 a.m. Pacific time. It will be presented in the UW Medical Center Plaza Cafe conference rooms. Through a phone line, participants can ask questions of the speakers. Continuing medical education credits are available by filling out a form provided by NIH. In addition, each session will be videotaped and available at the library's Reserve Desk, although there is no CME credit for watching the videotapes. The presentations will be listed in the University Week calendar beginning with the Feb. 11 program. For more information, send e-mail to iaims@u.washington.edu.
