Morning Grounds, Morning Rounds: Schwartz Rounds at Stony Brook Medicine

Join us as Dr. Wertheim sits down with our first guest to explore the purpose and power of Schwartz Rounds. We discuss how these structured, multidisciplinary conversations create a safe space for caregivers to reflect on the emotional dimensions of their work, something research has shown can reduce psychological distress, increase empathy, and decrease feelings of isolation. We also look at what makes Schwartz Rounds uniquely effective: storytelling, an emphasis on shared humanity, and a trusted environment that allows for authentic reflection.
