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)
“I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“It enhances our sense of the grand security and serenity of nature to observe the still undisturbed economy and content of the fishes of this century, their happiness a regular fruit of the summer.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
