COURSE DESCRIPTION:

There is a pressing need to increase the availability of emotional support to healthcare professionals.  Schwartz Rounds provide a space for staff to reflect on the emotional impact of their work. The Rounds are a multidisciplinary forum for all staff working in healthcare settings. The key premise is that supporting healthcare staff’s well-being, providing a way for them to gain insight into their feelings and those whom they work with helps them to work compassionately with patients.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

Physicians, Nurses, Pharmacists, Dietitians, Nurse Practitioners, Chaplains, and other interested healthcare providers. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Describe the social, emotional, ethical, and spiritual personal issues that arise during the care of patients and the impact on caregivers. 
• Demonstrate enhanced communication with patients, family members and colleagues.
