The Semel Institute at UCLA is pleased to present Psychiatry Grand Rounds, our weekly educational conference that brings you cutting-edge information about the clinical neurosciences, human behavior, and mental health care. The conferences are held in the West Auditorium at the Institute on the UCLA campus, and have been webcast online since 1996 with streaming video. In 2007, we introduced a podcast summary edition. In early 2008, we rolled out a weekly mobile/PDA/iPhone schedule page and in the Fall, we shifted our podcast edition to being a preview summary, rather than a re-cap.

We hope you'll attend these programs in person whenever possible, and use the webcast and podcast editions to enhance your learning experience.
-- Ian A. Cook, MD, Course Director
