Morning Report is a morning teaching round for medical housestaff in North America.

The content and time of the round vary between institutions. The round may occur at the beginning of the workday, or may occur after or in the middle of patient care rounds. The participants in the round vary as well, but usually include all housestaff, the attending physicians on service, the chief medical resident, and other attendees.

Rounds are typically led by an attending physician or by the chief medical resident. A case is presented, usually from a member of the admitting housestaff from the previous night. The case is discussed in the Socratic manner, with focused questions addressed to the housestaff. The management decisions from the previous night are usually discussed.

Morning report (United States military)

In the United States Army, the 'morning report' was a document produced every morning for every basic unit of the Army, by the unit clerk, detailing personnel changes for the day. The morning report supported strength accountability from before WWII until the introduction of SIDPERS during the 1970s.

The report was signed by the unit's Commanding officer, and submitted to the appropriate higher administrative unit. It was the source for tabulation of the Army's centralized personnel records.

The morning report detailed changes in the status of soldiers in the unit on the day the change occurred, including for example, transfers to or from the unit, temporarily assignment elsewhere (TDY), on leave, promotion or demotion, and other such events. Familiar abbreviations such as KIA (killed in action), AWOL (absent without leave), WIA (wounded in action), and MIA (missing in action) were the authorized notations used on the morning report for those statuses.
