Examples of recent and ongoing ViralEd programs include:

Since 2010, this ongoing, weekly, live program has featured well-known experts in HIV medicine and research presenting at the Perelman School of Medicine. The series has reached more than 22,000 participants in 70 countries with presentations ranging from basic virology and the origins of HIV to conference updates, new treatment options, and case studies.
The Viral Hepatitis Grand Rounds from Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Building on the success and reach of the HIV Grand Rounds program, in 2012 we started a regular live and broadcast grand rounds series on viral hepatitis topics. This program continues to provide important information on basic science and treatment issues associated with viral hepatitis and has moved from a monthly to a weekly schedule.
