Pediatric Grand Rounds

Pediatric Morbidity and Mortality Conference


Pediatric Grand Rounds for the Department of Pediatrics, SUNY Downstate College of Medicine and the Children’s Hospital at Downstate are now being held on Friday mornings, from 8:00 am until 9:00 am, in Lecture Hall 6 of the Basic Science Building. The last Friday of the month is generally reserved for Morbidity and Mortality Conference. To reach Lecture Hall 6, it is best to use the elevators in the main lobby of the College of Medicine in the BSB. When you exit the elevators on the 6th floor, turn left and you will see the entrance to the lecture hall immediately ahead.


Each Grand Rounds or Morbidity/Mortality conference is approved for 1 hour of Category 1 CME credit, certified by SUNY Downstate. At the end of each academic year, the attendance is tallied and transmitted to the Downstate CME office. In order to receive a CME certificate for the prior academic year, you must contact the Downstate CME office to request the certificate. This should be done in the September following the academic year for which CME credits are requested. There is a $25 fee.
