GBC offers 8 Grand Round sessions per academic year. These rounds consist of up to four 20 to 25-minute O&P educational sessions that can be attended in person or live-streamed through the GBC website media system.
Orthotic and Prosthetic Program students at GBC are required to formally present sessions on various O&P topics to develop and cultivate valuable presentation skills.
These sessions normally take place the first Tuesday of every month throughout the academic school year. Sessions are held in EG61 of the McLaughlin Educational Centre Lecture Theatre.
