Abstract

The University of Texas Medical Branch hosts Dr. Quinn’s Online Textbook of Otolaryngology(www.utmb.edu/otoref/Grnds/GrndsIndex.html), edited by Drs. Francis B. Quinn Jr. and Matthew W. Ryan. The “Grand Rounds” archive (1995–2004) lists synopses of otolaryngology conditions in HTML, PDF, and PowerPoint formats. According to the website, these are designed to “stimulate group discussion in a conference setting,” with the proviso that the material is “prepared by resident physicians in partial fulfillment of educational requirements... [and is] not intended for clinical use in its present form.” Although these are not in-depth dissertations, they are concise and pithy synopses that would be useful for stimulating discussion as part of a continuing medical education program.
