National Grand Rounds (NGR)
Canada’s Emergency Physicians gather here to stay connected, informed, and inspired. Born out of the need for collaboration during the COVID-19 pandemic, National Grand Rounds has evolved into a vital platform for sharing cutting-edge evidence, tackling difficult issues in emergency medicine, and fostering a nationwide community of practice. From rural clinics to urban trauma centres, this accredited webinar series brings together diverse voices to explore clinical innovations, health equity, and the future of emergency care in Canada. Join us as we learn, lead, and advocate—together.
That's a wrap on the 2025/26 National Grand Rounds season!
Thank you to all our presenters and participants for another outstanding year.
We look forward to welcoming you back on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, as we kick off the 2026/27 NGR season.
