Orthopaedic Physiotherapy Grand Rounds 12 - Work-Related Stress and Pain Sensitivity

Overview:

History of Grand Rounds

“In the late 19th century, the Johns Hopkins Medical School introduced bedside teaching as a new approach to clinical education. Residents learned as faculty passed from patient to patient, explaining their methods of diagnosis and treatment.

These rounds were moved from the bedside to an auditorium and the traditional approach to grand rounds was created.

Traditional rounds were a ‘well-organized, decorous, stately, and punctual exercise.’”

(Can We Make Grand Rounds “Grand” Again? by Sandal, Iannuzzi and Knohl, 2013)
