Grand Rounds

The Washington University School of Medicine Continuing Medical Education (CME) program offers learning opportunities for physicians in practice, allied health professionals and postgraduate trainees. Courses are offered in seminar format, independent study, by teleconference and online.

Grand Rounds

Verified attendance at Department of Ob/Gyn grand rounds is eligible for CME credit. Learners must be registered with the Washington University School of Medicine CME program and sign in before the lecture begins.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic & education administrative time changes, GRs will take place via ZOOM at 8:00 AM. Active participation during Q&A is encouraged via appropriate entry in ZOOM chat.

How to get CME credit for Virtual Grand Rounds

Starting in January 2021, you can receive Continued Med Education (CME) credits in one of two ways.

“Live Credit” is available upon entry (until 8:15am) onto the ZOOM GR where your FULL NAME is clearly shown. (If logging in on your phone or other device please change your name so that is recognizable).
“Enduring CME Credit” is available on our previously recorded GRs up to 3 months from the presentation date. (Recordings will be posted within 24 hours of the original presentation)
