  Cardiovascular Grand Rounds are a Divisional Conference held weekly where Duke faculty and Visiting professors present the latest in clinical, translational and basic science research.  Additionally, Cardiology Fellows are responsible for one yearly presentation to the entire Division as part of Cardiology Grand Rounds during their last year of fellowship.
