Public Health Grand Rounds presentations now accessible through ADH website

It is now possible to view past Public Health Grand Rounds presentations via the Arkansas Department of Health website main page. The link is found under the Quick Links tab or by going to http://www.healthy.arkansas.gov/aboutADH/Pages/GrandRounds.aspx.

Currently the archive goes back to March 6, 2013, but plans are to extend the archive as far back as possible, certainly through 2013, said Kenneth Ridgway of ADH IT. Also in the works is live computer access to the Grand Rounds, which are held 8-9 a.m. on Thursdays at the Arkansas Department of Health. The presentations are jointly sponsored by the ADH, the College of Public Health and the Arkansas Center for Health Improvement.

CME credit is also available. Information is on the ADH site noted above.
