178 Family Medicine Grand Rounds: "Re-emergence of Vaccine Preventable Diseases" (022817)

Dallas, TX US
February 28, 2017

Reemergence of vaccine preventable diseases although not that common remains a potential threat. More and more parents are declining to get their kids vaccinated since some of them have never seen or experienced what it meant to have Polio or severe Measles or Mumps. This talk will address this issue and also touch the ethical dilemma regarding how to handle parents and kids who decline to get vaccinated.

Residents and faculty currently are unable to participate in grand rounds held by other departments due to time constraints and topics not applicable to primary care practice. The goal of this activity is to meet the needs of our residents, faculty and hopefully involve community physicians to discuss and present what is relevant to primary care and gain experience about latest trends that are applicable to day-to-day practice. This activity will give the opportunity to residents, faculty and community physicians to have a forum for information exchange and disseminate their research. Grand rounds at UT Southwestern will allow community physicians to earn their CME credits to meet the requirements of ABFM and TMB.
