Bioethics Grand Rounds Video Archive
Provider Grand Rounds are held from 8 to 9 a.m. every Thursday in Wright Auditorium at Seattle Children's Hospital (use the River entrance). Visiting physicians may park in Lot 1 (PDF).
Each year, the Center for Pediatric Bioethics and Palliative Care sponsors two Grand Rounds focusing on ethical issues in pediatric medicine. The January programs are case-based presentations sponsored by the Sconyers/Godfrey Endowment for Pediatric Bioethics. The annual Treuman Katz Grand Rounds takes place in October, and features an in-depth presentation on an ethical topic.
