Grand rounds
Encyclopedia
Grand rounds are an important teaching tool and ritual of medical education
and inpatient care, consisting of presenting the medical problems and treatment of a particular patient to an audience consisting of doctors, residents, and medical students. Traditionally, the patient was present for the presentation and would answer questions; grand rounds has evolved considerably over the years, with most current sessions rarely having a patient present and being more like lectures. In some instances, an actor portrays the patient.
Grand rounds help doctors and other healthcare professionals keep up to date in
important evolving areas which may be outside of their core practice. Most departments
at major teaching hospitals will have their own specialized Grand Rounds (usually
weekly). Attending Grand Rounds is also an important supplement to medical school
and on-the-job resident training. (Grand rounds can also be destinguished from
rounds which is the (typically) daily visit by the attending and team to
all that attending's patients on the ward. Rounding with an attending is an important
part of practical medical on-the-job training/education, but it's primary focus is immediate
care for the patients on the ward. Grand rounds tends to present the bigger picture,
including experience with patients over many years, and the newest research and/or
treatments in an area. Grand rounds tend to be open to the entire medical professional
community, whereas rounds are specific to individual attendings and their current
teams).
have started providing streaming video of their Grand rounds presentations
for free over the internet. This is a wonderful opportunity for medical professionals
and students to improve their knowledge, and builds on one of the core values of
the Hippocratic Oath
- that medical education should be provided for free,
and that doctors should actively and openly share their knowledge without compensation
in order to improve patient care.
Many of these organizations provide an archive of several years of recent Grand
Rounds presentations and as such offer a tremendous resource for increasing
medical knowledge and improving patient care.
