UCSD Method: Grand Rounds is a small portion of the Head and Neck Surgery Educational Program at UCSD. Grand Rounds provides the resident two unique opportunities. The first is to focus on a topic of their own choosing and perform an in-depth literature review. The second is to organize a summary and oral presentation of their topic. This is typically performed with PowerPoint slide presentations.
