Residents
Gather for Grand Rounds
The biannual advanced
education grand rounds are
an opportunity for
collaboration among
residents in the various
programs at LSUSD.
Promoting
interdisciplinary
cooperation, grand rounds
allow residents to
recognize and appreciate
challenges encountered by
clinicians in the various
specialty and residency
programs.
The spring 2014 program,
held on Friday, March 21,
featured two guest
speakers. Kenneth E. Rhea,
MD, medical risk
management consultant for
LAMMICO, discussed "Mobile
Medical Communications:
Managing and Using Your
Mobile Devices." Dale
Ehrlich, DDS, chairman of
the LSUSD Department of
Comprehensive Dentistry
and Biomaterials, spoke on
"Behavioral Management for
Orofacial Pain."
Presentations of
challenging clinical cases
by residents in each of
the seven advanced
education programs filled
the remainder of the day.
Following each
presentation, a resident
panel consisting of Drs.
Theodoros Katsaros, Danny
Gano, Jeremy Manuele,
Ahmed Zahar, Psalmer
Richmond, Cameron Cavola,
and Jennifer Flanagan,
addressed questions to the
speakers.
