They are held on Wednesday mornings from 8:30 to 9:30am in the de Grandpré Communications Centre at The Neuro. In order to facilitate participation from staff and faculty at all sites of the McGill Teaching Network, the Grand Rounds will continue to be presented online via Zoom to colleagues at the Jewish General Hospital, Montreal General Hospital, St. Mary's Hospital and to the Royal Victoria and Montreal Children's Hospitals at the Glen Site.
Neurology Grand Rounds are coordinated by Dr. Madeleine Sharp and Dr. Oliver Blanchard. These weekly talks will take place in person, whenever possible, at the Neuro.
