About Ethics Grand Rounds

Ethics Grand Rounds is a monthly program sponsored by the Ethics Committee at the University of Colorado Hospital and the Center for Bioethics and Humanities.  It occurs on the second Thursday of the month from noon to 1:00 (except in July and August) and features case and issue presentations, as well as dialogue about topics of importance in clinical ethics. 

These continuing education sessions are open to the community at large and are primarily attended by AMC faculty, staff and students. CME is offered.  Ethics Grand Rounds are typically held at UCH and, recently, has been offered virtually.
