Recent Innovation : Video Grand Round Archives
Many teaching and research hospitals have started providing streaming video of their Grand rounds presentations for free over the internet. This is a wonderful opportunity for medical professionals and students to improve their knowledge, and builds on one of the core values of the Hippocratic Oath - that medical education should be provided for free, and that doctors should actively and openly share their knowledge without compensation in order to improve patient care.
Many of these organizations provide an archive of several years of recent Grand Rounds presentations and as such offer a tremendous resource for increasing medical knowledge and improving patient care.

Famous quotes containing the words innovation, video and/or grand:
“Both cultures encourage innovation and experimentation, but are likely to reject the innovator if his innovation is not accepted by audiences. High culture experiments that are rejected by audiences in the creator’s lifetime may, however, become classics in another era, whereas popular culture experiments are forgotten if not immediately successful. Even so, in both cultures innovation is rare, although in high culture it is celebrated and in popular culture it is taken for granted.”
—Herbert J. Gans (b. 1927)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“The allurement that women hold out to men is precisely the allurement that Cape Hatteras holds out to sailors: they are enormously dangerous and hence enormously fascinating. To the average man, doomed to some banal drudgery all his life long, they offer the only grand hazard that he ever encounters. Take them away, and his existence would be as flat and secure as that of a moo-cow.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
