ROUNDS
| Clinical
teaching rounds are another important component of the 12-week internal
medicine clerkship. There
are several types
of rounds: Teaching Attending
Rounds, Bedside Rounds, Teaching Management Rounds, and morning or afternoon Sign-out Rounds. Rounds are conducted similarly at each of the three Clerkship sites.

| Teaching Attending Rounds | |
| During Teaching Attending Rounds, the clinical teaching relates directly to the patients being managed by the student inpatient care team. These are formal teaching rounds in which a student may be asked to present a patient case. | |
| Teaching Management Rounds | |
| The goals for the Team Management Rounds are the same as those of Teaching Attending Rounds but methods and participants are different. Either the chief or senior resident will conduct a Team Management bedside round. Case management and decision-making includes all members of team for all patients on the team. The medical student is the primary audience for the discussion and learning associated with the rounds with junior residents being the secondary audience. Teaching management rounds are at least 2 hours long and occur at least three times per week. | |
