Every month, the USC Norris Grand Rounds Committee, under the leadership of Dr. Josh Neman, hosts a Grand Rounds talk. The purpose of the Grand Rounds is to hear about the latest cutting-edge research in oncology. In addition, it creates the opportunity for faculty, post-doctoral trainees, and graduate students to directly interact with the experts in the field and discuss important topics relevant for USC Norris. Invited speakers spend the entire day at USC Norris, meeting with individual faculty members, lunching with trainees, and joining a group meeting with members of one or more USC Norris research programs. The Grand Rounds are usually attended by 100 to 150 participants. Grand Rounds will take place in person in the Aresty Auditorium, Harlyne J. Norris Research Tower.

Title: The Intersection of Intervention and Implementation Science: The Saga of 3 HPV Self-sampling Pragmatic Trials

Description: Although several countries have integrated HPV self-sampling into their cervical cancer screening programs, HPV self-sampling only received U.S. FDA approval in May 2024. Our team designed three pragmatic clinical trials (PCTs) to test intervention and implementation strategies to compare the effectiveness of HPV self-sampling in U.S. healthcare settings. Dr. Tiro will also discuss growing interest in conducting PCTs across the cancer care continuum.
