"The Public Health Grand Rounds provide an opportunity for close interaction on very important health topics between the key components of the public health system; state and local health departments, schools of public health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention," Koplan said. "The CDC is pleased to partner with the UNC School of Public Health in providing this practical and timely vehicle for improving our national public health system."
