MEDICAL SCHOOL FOR EVERYONE: GRAND ROUNDS CASES
Thursdays, January 5 – March 23, 2017 | 10:00am | Special Interest Room
No Charge | Pre-Registration Required
FACILITATORS: DR. JIM MAY, Chairman Emeritus, Plastic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital & Professor of Surgery,
Harvard Medical School , DR. LES NASH, Professor Emeritus, Orthopedic Surgery, Case Western Reserve University
When you’re sick, you go to a doctor to find out what’s wrong. But how a doctor works is not some impenetrable
mystery; rather, there is an art and science that goes into how to diagnose and treat patients. In this course, you
will view two 30-minute lectures per study group session, followed by a discussion led by the course facilitators.
Each lecture presents a perplexing problem and then shows an expert as he takes steps to figure out the issue
and how best to treat it. Insights you will learn are:
• What specific questions doctors ask and why
• What doctors look for during physical exams
• How doctors use a network of information to narrow down a diagnosis
Drawn from actual medical stories, these Grand Rounds take you everywhere from the calm of a doctor’s office to
the chaos of an emergency room. Course content is from The Great Courses with Dr. Roy Benaroch, a practicing
physician and an adjunct assistant professor of pediatrics at the Emory University School of Medicine.
DR. JIM MAY
There is no charge for this course but you must pre-register. A maximum of 15 participants will be accepted.
