Morning Report: Is the Time Ripe for a Change?

Pages 163-164 | Published online: 10 Apr 2012
 

Abstract

Background: Morning report is a time-honored part of the medical day. However, recent changes in house officer training and staffing raise questions about the educational efficacy of this daily conference. Summary: As it is currently conducted, Morning Report is an exercise in role playing that fails to achieve its main teaching objectives. This article suggests ways to modify Morning Report in an attempt to sustain the valuable purpose for which it was initially conceived. Conclusions: Refocusing the objectives of Morning Report and shifting the time to noon may restore the educational value of this important conference.
