Penn Radiology offers virtual Grand Rounds sessions twice a month from January to December, typically scheduled from noon to 1:00 pm (unless otherwise noted). Our faculty members invite presenters based on their expertise and prominence in their field. In 2024, we will be showcasing speakers for our How to Be an Academic Radiologist (HTBAR) program. In addition, internal sessions are included to allow our trainees to present to our faculty before participating in international conferences. The sessions also allow our residents to showcase their research projects.

Our schedule is regularly updated as guest speakers are confirmed.
