Panelists include:

  • Karoly Mirnics, M.D, Ph.D., director of the Munroe-Meyer Institute;
  • Brad Corr, DPT, director of adult physical therapy programming at MMI;
  • Kim Bainbridge, National Core Indicators program associate at MMI and parent;

    I was just wondering if this would be able to be live streamed? I would love to be able to watch it in Kearney. Thank you!

    Unfortunately, Schwartz Rounds are unable to be live streamed at this time. Organizers are working to see how future ones can be live streamed. Stay tuned.
