The goal of Medicine Grand Rounds is to present medical problems and treatments to keep up to date in evolving areas of specialties within the Department of Medicine. In this series we will present a wide range of topics given by local and nationally known specialty experts.
In support of improving patient care, MaineHealth is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
