Grand Rounds Edition 5:18, January 20th - Call For Submissions

Dr. Val is hosting the historic inauguration day Grand Rounds at MedPageToday. Please send your submissions to this email address: valjonesmd AT gmail dot com. Put “Grand Rounds Submission” in your email title and please use this format for the body of your email:

Although I have never done a themed Grand Rounds before, it would be terribly remiss of me not to acknowledge healthcare reform on the very inauguration day of our new President, Barack Obama. So please send me your best posts about the change you’d like to see in healthcare. If we do a really great job of this, maybe Tom Daschle will take a looksie? Don’t laugh, but DC is a small world - I share a hair stylist with Tom’s wife, Linda!

Please send me your submissions by midnight, ET, Sunday January 18th. I will include all submissions, but will give more weight to those that are about healthcare reform.

For those of you who are reading this and wondering what on earth I’m talking about - please read about Grand Rounds here. It’s the weekly summary of the best blog posts from the medical blogosphere.

My inaugural Grand Rounds will be published at MedPageToday at 8am, Tuesday, January 20th. (This link will work from that time on). I hope that we’ll reach an unprecedented number of readers on this platform.

I look forward to receiving your submissions!

Warmest Regards,

Val

P.S. Please enjoy Barbara Kivowitz’s Grand Rounds this week - it has a Sci Fi theme! The January 27th edition of Grand Rounds will be hosted by: Chronic Babe.
