Schwartz Center Rounds is a multidisciplinary forum where caregivers discuss difficult emotional and social issues that arise in caring for patients. Over 37,000 clinicians across the country participate in these interactive discussions and share their experiences, thoughts and feelings on different topics. Schwartz Center Rounds take place at 195 sites in 31 states.

The Schwartz Center hired Goodman Research Group to conduct a comprehensive quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the Rounds. The Rounds have many benefits including improving communication among caregivers and between caregivers and patients. For a summary of the results, click here.
