Penn State Dermatology offers Grand Rounds once a month during the academic year, September through June.
Patient volunteers are available for examination from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. in the Dermatology Clinic located in Suite 100 of the University Physicians Center. The case discussions are held from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the hospital auditorium. The conferences are attended by a large number of dermatologists from the Central Pennsylvania area, many of whom invite patients with challenging diagnostic or therapeutic problems. We have 4 visiting professors each year. The visiting professors participate in the case conference and also present a lecture from noon to 1:00 p.m.
The Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center Dermatology Grand Rounds is recognized by the American Academy of Dermatology for 3 hours of AAD Category 1 CME credit, and may be used toward the American Academy of Dermatology's Continuing Medical Education Award. In addition, Penn State College of Medicine disignates this educational AACME activity for a maximum of 3 AMA PRA Category 1
credit(s).
All dermatologists are welcome to attend the meetings. We look forward to continued growth of the Dermatology Grand Rounds program in the coming year.
