A Resident-driven Initiative to Increase Bedside Teaching on Interdisciplinary Rounds.

ABSTRACT: Inpatient rounding serves numerous roles. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a family-centered bedside model. Residents identified physical examination teaching during and satisfaction with rounds as areas for improvement.

Methods

We developed an organizational structure to complete a long-term resident-led project. Interventions included daily bed
