Family-centered rounds and medical student education: a qualitative examination of students' perceptions.
Although current literature supports the benefits of family-centered rounds on medical education, few studies have explored students' perceptions of family-centered rounds. ⋯ Our qualitative analysis of medical student perceptions on family-centered rounds suggests that pediatric medical student education may benefit by improving knowledge and practice with communication and humanizing disease processes. However, perceived barriers, such as concerns about space or instructor comfort with teaching certain topics, existed. Further studies are warranted to gain a better understanding of the educational impact of conducting this type of rounds.
