Medicine Grand Rounds, Amy Shaheen “Quality Improvement — Value of Learners in a Clinic Setting”
The LCME and ACGME require that learners participate and demonstrate competency in quality improvement activities. However, learners are not always welcome to do these activities in clinical settings due to perceived burdens on productivity, time, and resources. Dr. Shaeen will demonstrate the learner activities as beneficial to the practice and health system. Amy W. Shaheen … Read more

Medicine Grand Rounds, Eric Juengst and Greg Copenhaver, “The Biology and Ethics of CRISPR”
CRISPR technology is a simple yet powerful tool for editing genomes. It allows researchers to easily alter DNA sequences and modify gene function. Its many potential applications include correcting genetic defects, treating and preventing the spread of diseases and improving crops. However, its promise also raises ethical concerns. Drs. Juengst and Copenhaver will explore the … Read more
