hospital rounds

Bedside physician visits

Hospital rounds are the regular visits physicians make to examine hospitalized patients, typically moving from room to room in sequence.

The practice structures a doctor's workday and ensures each patient receives direct attention: The attending physician makes rounds every morning at seven.

Medical students and residents often accompany senior doctors on rounds as part of their training, observing and presenting cases.
