The Grand Rounds Lecture Series — a weekly one-hour continuing medical education (CME) seminar held on Fridays — covers a wide variety of clinical and basic science topics. From September through June, Grand Rounds consists of special lectures from faculty and guest speakers. All are invited to hear the latest discussions regarding both clinical and bench research developments. Unless otherwise noted, Grand Rounds are held on Friday mornings at 7:45 a.m. in the Robert Emmett Connor Auditorium of the Farrell Learning and Teaching Center. 

Each Grand Rounds will have a QR code that will direct you to the CME site where you can check attendance for that lecture. Android and iPhone users may use cameras, and others will need to download a QR barcode reader app. If for some reason someone is unable to get in, please email Administrative Assistant Andrea Barker (barker.a@wustl.edu). Please use your WUSTL email address.

Lectureships

The Department of Neurology has six named lectures, four annually and two bi-annually. All are conducted within the venue of the weekly Neurology Grand Rounds so that students, residents, fellows and faculty can all benefit from the outstanding speakers who participate. A complete listing of lectures can be found on the schedule.

Levy Lectureship

The Irwin Levy Lectureship was endowed by Meyer and Alene Kopolow, with the additional support from many other patients, friends, and colleagues. Before his death in 1979, he chose Dr. Arthur Asbury as the first lecturer. Levy was one of Washington University’s leading clinical neurologists for over a quarter century from 1940-1979. The Levy Lectureship continues to be used as a living tribute to Levy’s commitment to clinical teaching in Neurology.
