Schwartz Rounds
The Mission of Schwartz Rounds is to promote compassionate healthcare and strengthen the relationship between patients and caregivers.
What are Schwartz Rounds?
Schwartz Rounds are a multidisciplinary forum where caregivers discuss the difficult emotional and social issues that arise in caring for patients. Very different from clinical or ethics rounds, Schwartz Rounds is not about what happened, but how it felt.
Rounds were piloted at Massachusetts General Hospital in 1997 and have been held there since. Currently, Schwartz Rounds are held in hundreds of sites across the US and almost 200 in UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
We hope you will find Schwartz Rounds a safe, comfortable forum where you can learn from and support each other.
