medical rounds
Bedside teaching tours
Medical rounds are the regular visits physicians make to examine hospitalized patients, typically moving from room to room in sequence.
The practice often includes a teaching component, with attending doctors leading residents and medical students through cases: The surgical team does rounds at six every morning.
To make rounds or do rounds is to conduct these visits.
The term extends to similar systematic check-ins in other professional contexts.
