HEALTH & WELL-BEING continued MEDICAL SCHOOL FOR EVERYONE: GRAND ROUNDS CASES Thursdays, January 5 – March 23, 2017 | 10:00am | Special Interest Room No Charge | Pre-Registration Required FACILITATORS: DR. JIM MAY, Chairman Emeritus, Plastic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital & Professor of Surgery, Harvard Medical School , DR. LES NASH, Professor Emeritus, Orthopedic Surgery, Case Western Reserve University When you’re sick, you go to a doctor to find out what’s wrong. But how a doctor works is not some impenetrable mystery; rather, there is an art and science that goes into how to diagnose and treat patients. In this course, you will view two 30-minute lectures per study group session, followed by a discussion led by the course facilitators. Each lecture presents a perplexing problem and then shows an expert as he takes steps to figure out the issue and how best to treat it. Insights you will learn are: • What specific questions doctors ask and why • What doctors look for during physical exams • How doctors use a network of information to narrow down a diagnosis Drawn from actual medical stories, these Grand Rounds take you everywhere from the calm of a doctor’s office to the chaos of an emergency room. Course content is from The Great Courses with Dr. Roy Benaroch, a practicing physician and an adjunct assistant professor of pediatrics at the Emory University School of Medicine. DR. JIM MAY There is no charge for this course but you must pre-register. A maximum of 15 participants will be accepted. WEIGHT WATCHERS OPEN HOUSE Friday, January 9, 2017 | 9:00am | Houghton Room DR.
