Medicine Grand Rounds Library
The Medicine Grand Rounds (MGR) is a forum for the DoM to promote excellence and quality in medicine by providing clinicians with state-of-the-art information and reasoning in medical care, as well as providing updates on scientific advances that affect the practice of medicine.
We profoundly thank our presenters for sharing their time and expertise to bring you topics that enrich the program helping physicians (both faculty and in the community), students, residents, fellows, members of multidisciplinary teams, and other healthcare professionals, keep up-to-date in continuous professional development, knowledge translation, and important evolving areas that may be outside their core practice.
Evaluation and Attendance Reporting
This self-managed evaluation and attendance system is used by several Divisional rounds and Medicine Grand Rounds. It is for self-approved group learning activities as defined by the Maintenance of Certification program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (Section 1). Evaluations should be completed online following each presentation. Attendance can be logged up to 6 weeks following a presentation. After the 6-week time limit, you will be unable to submit, and attendance will not be recorded on your self-managed attendance report.

Topics and Speaker Ideas
MGR is also a setting for discussing topics that strengthen the relationship of medicine to the broader community. Topics may include improving competency in medical knowledge, patient care, professionalism, practice-based learning and communication skills.
