AB In  1889,  Canadian-born  physician  Sir  William  Osler  became  the  first  physician-in-chief  of  the  new  Johns  Hopkins  Hospital  in  Baltimore,  Maryland.1  He  was  often  called  "the  father  of  modern  medicine."2  Bedside  teaching  was  so  much  a  part  of  his  style  of  clinician  training3  that  he  is  sometimes  credited  with  coining  the  word  rounding.  The  story  is  hard  to  verify,  but  it  sounds  really  good,  particularly  if  you  are  a  resident  in  training  hearing  it  for  the  first  time  from  one  of  the  staff.  During  Sir  William's  tenure,  the  famous  Johns  Hopkins  dome  was  still  a  part  of  the  hospital,  so  when  he  guided  his  team  of  young  physicians  from  patient  to  patient,  they  followed  the  circular  hospital  hallway  all  the  way  around  the  base  of  the  dome.  Because  there  were  multiple  members  of  the  team,  they  were  said  to  be  making  their  "rounds."
