The Semel Institute at UCLA is pleased to present Psychiatry Grand Rounds, our weekly continuing-education 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.

During the presentations on Tuesday mornings, you can view the live webcast stream using RealMedia Player 9 or later or using in WindowsMedia Player 7.1 or later.

We hope you'll attend these programs in person whenever possible, and use the webcast and podcast editions to enhance your learning experience.
