What is the Grand Rounds Webinar Series?
ACS Quality Grand Rounds is a series of 60-minute webinars that hosts an ACS Quality site to share their quality improvement projects and lessons learned. Currently, Grand Rounds is for participants of NSQIP, MBSAQIP, and Pediatric NSQIP, however everyone is welcome to join the webinar. Each session creates space for practical discussion, collaboration, and shared learning across programs and institutions.
