BCCDC hosts public health rounds to encourage new ways of thinking, introduce new or updated ideas, generate discussion, and in some cases debate around important public health issues.
BCCDC Grand Rounds are a College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada CME accredited activity and are broadcast online.
