Abstract
Abstract Aims Medical-Grand-Rounds (MGR) offer educational-benefits: CME & knowledge-updates, case-base-learning, multidisciplinary-collaboration, development-of-critical-thinking, enhance-communication-skills, networking & socializing, quality & safety-improvement. Complementary-food-provision is believed to be an incentive & motivator for MGR-attendance. Aim of study is to assess MGR attendance in respect to complimentary food-provision. Methods Study was carried-out from Jan’2007-to-Dec 2025 at single institution. MGR-attendance-register, food-provision, sponsorship & details-of-MGR presentation were-evaluated. MGR-meetings held without food provision were recruited as controls.

Complimentary-food should-be provided by Post-Graduate Medical Educations (PGME) department or pharmaceutical-sponsorship. Sponsors should be acknowledged with declaration of interested made in relation to MGR-opic. Strategies-employed to improve MGR attendance include: optimize structure & content, enhance convenience & accessibility (physical-Lecture-Theatre, virtual & recorded-formats), incentivize-participation (CME-credits, food-provision, recognize-MGR-attendance), improve-promotion & speaker-selection.
