Clinical Grand Rounds
A recurring educational forum designed to strengthen collaboration and advance clinical practice across hematology and oncology, Holden Clinical Grand Rounds will provide updates on the latest research, clinical guidelines, and educational topics related to cancer care. These sessions will feature a wide range of speakers, including faculty members, trainees, staff, and invited national experts, who will share their insights on clinical innovations, complex cases, and emerging practices.
Led by Greg Kirkpatrick, MD, PhD, Instructor of Internal Medicine-Hematology, Oncology, and Blood & Marrow Transplantation, this initiative seeks to encourage meaningful exchanges among physicians, advanced practice providers, pharmacists, nurses, researchers, and staff from across the state.
