Let the new year begin! This year’s Grand Rounds kicked off with a series of topics covering why what we do matters, and that starts with how we as ED providers conduct ourselves. Dr. Palmer started us off with a discussion of teamwork, how to overcome difficult teamwork scenarios and overcome adverse encounters with integrity. Dr. Doerning gave some insights and lessons in analytics and a foray into datasets using ‘R’ and Dr. McDonough led the group in a talk and small group exercise in professionalism.
