Morning Report is a morning teaching round for medical housestaff in North America.
The content and time of the round vary between institutions. The round may occur at the beginning of the workday, or may occur after or in the middle of patient care rounds. The participants in the round vary as well, but usually include all housestaff, the attending physicians on service, the chief medical resident, and other attendees.
Rounds are typically led by an attending physician or by the chief medical resident. A case is presented, usually from a member of the admitting housestaff from the previous night. The case is discussed in the Socratic manner, with focused questions addressed to the housestaff. The management decisions from the previous night are usually discussed.
Famous quotes containing the words morning and/or report:
“Until the morning of Eternity
Her rest shall not begin nor end, but be;
And when she wakes she will not think it long.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
“Men are born to write. The gardener saves every slip, and seed, and peach-stone: his vocation is to be a planter of plants. Not less does the writer attend his affair. Whatever he beholds or experiences, comes to him as a model, and sits for its picture. He counts it all nonsense that they say, that some things are undescribable. He believes that all that can be thought can be written, first or last; and he would report the Holy Ghost, or attempt it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
