Grand Rounds

Loading...

Grand Rounds are presented weekly on Thursdays at 8 a.m. at Seattle Children’s Hospital's main campus in the Wright Auditorium (use the Giraffe entrance). Each year the Center for Pediatric Bioethics sponsors three to four presentations that focus on ethical issues in medicine. Three are case presentations sponsored by the Sconyers/Godfrey endowment and the fourth is a Treuman Katz lecture which deals less with a specific case and more with ethical issues in a given area.

Visiting physicians may use Giraffe parking (PDF) .
