The Department of Health's Public Health Grand Rounds series features presentations about significant public health issues and the challenges they pose. This series is intended to promote a dialogue within the department and with the Vermont professional community.
Public Health Grand Rounds present case histories to illustrate the clinical presentation of a disease, to provide a context in which participants can review basic information, and focus discussion on several possible ways to frame and address a problem. Specialists present perspectives on the etiology, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan for a patient's presenting problem. This educational format is used in a variety of professions.
