Grand Rounds Model in terms of Continuing Medical Education and Lifelong Learning
Abstract
Aim: The rapid change in many fields in the global sense and the need for transformation due to this change has also affected the field of medical sciences; therefore, revisions have been required in medical education practices. For this reason, medical education is considered as one of the fields where change occurs fast. This study aims to examine the Grand Rounds model in terms of continuing medical education and lifelong learning through the analysis of its planning, implementation, and evaluation process.
Methods: This traditional literature review, in the context of continuing medical education and lifelong learning, was conducted to examine the planning, implementation and evaluation processes of grand rounds, especially in the United States. In Pubmed, Scopus and Google Scholar search engines, the keywords "Clinical Rounds", "Medical Rounds", "Bedside Teaching Rounds", "Medicine Rounds" and "Ward Rounds", which are called "classical clinical learning cycle", were searched. Then, the studies that included the term “Grand Rounds” model were examined.
Results: The grand rounds are designed to follow up-to-date diagnosis and treatment methods, to encourage knowledge sharing among faculty members, to contribute to the lifelong learning skills of students and faculty members, to create an active learning environment for assistants and students, and to share the faculty’s experiences with other stakeholders. It has been observed that the Grand Rounds, which was created in the context of adult learning theory and lifelong learning, has a more comprehensive process than traditional clinical rounds, is applied both in pre-graduate and postgraduate medical education and with the participation of health professionals from various disciplines. The most important stage of the Grand Rounds is planning. Therefore, there are some key elements that should be considered by the organizing committee that will carry out the planning process. These elements include shaping the content around the themes that will meet the needs of the participants, determining the appropriate learning outcomes, and deciding on the presentations that will contribute to the development of students' skills such as clinical reasoning, problem solving and decision making. During the implementation process, sufficient time should be allowed for the participants to discuss, interact, and share information about the subject. After Grand rounds, both the content in the learning cycles and the presenters should be evaluated with valid and reliable tools.
Conclusions: Integration of Grand rounds into continuous medical education in Turkey is strongly recommended in terms of providing broader lifelong learning opportunities for medical students, resident physicians and medical educators.
