Inpatient rounding as a team is an essential part of patient care at academic hospitals and remains a tradition in the field of medicine since its introduction in the 17th century. The style of rounding, however, has shifted from the bedside to the hallway and conference room. The use of the common styles of rounding has not been assessed within neurology and best practices are unclear. In this review, we outline the common methods of rounding, the changes in rounding culture over time, and the evidence for the various styles of rounding. We also provide a guide to rounding for the developing neurologist. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
