Residents Gather for Grand Rounds

The biannual advanced education grand rounds are an opportunity for collaboration among residents in the various programs at LSUSD. Promoting interdisciplinary cooperation, grand rounds allow residents to recognize and appreciate challenges encountered by clinicians in the various specialty and residency programs.

The spring 2014 program, held on Friday, March 21, featured two guest speakers. Kenneth E. Rhea, MD, medical risk management consultant for LAMMICO, discussed "Mobile Medical Communications: Managing and Using Your Mobile Devices." Dale Ehrlich, DDS, chairman of the LSUSD Department of Comprehensive Dentistry and Biomaterials, spoke on "Behavioral Management for Orofacial Pain."

Presentations of challenging clinical cases by residents in each of the seven advanced education programs filled the remainder of the day. Following each presentation, a resident panel consisting of Drs. Theodoros Katsaros, Danny Gano, Jeremy Manuele, Ahmed Zahar, Psalmer Richmond, Cameron Cavola, and Jennifer Flanagan, addressed questions to the speakers.
