On Tuesday November 13, 2012, 1- 2 p.m., CDC Grand Rounds will present a webcast on Unsafe Injection Practices in the U.S. Healthcare System.

With the ongoing outbreak of fungal meningitis in 19 states, the topic of injection safety is becoming more and more serious. This session of Grand Rounds will explore the future of injection safety in public health.

The Public Health Grand Rounds is a monthly webcast created to foster discussion on major public health issues. Each session focuses on key challenges related to a specific health topic, and explores cutting-edge scientific evidence and potential impact of different interventions. The Grand Rounds sessions also highlight how CDC and its partners are already addressing these challenges and discuss the recommendations for future research and practice.
