Virtual Schwartz Rounds
Fostering compassion, connection
and community
About Schwartz Rounds
Schwartz Rounds® offer a unique forum for convening and supporting healthcare staff, but with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, gathering became impossible for many of our healthcare member organizations. At the same time, healthcare workers coping with the intense stress and increased demands of providing care during the pandemic needed support and the opportunity to connect with one another more than ever.
VSR sessions have become a welcomed source of support and respite for our member community.

What are
virtual
schwartz
rounds?
VSR are remote convenings that take place online using virtual meeting platforms. They provide a forum for connecting with healthcare colleagues facing challenging experiences while trying to care for themselves and others. As with in-person Schwartz Rounds, they are opportunities to connect with one another about difficult or uplifting experiences, to offer and to receive support, and to decrease a sense of isolation.
VSR are not intended to replace standard, in-person Schwartz
Rounds, but to provide our member organizations with an additional support mechanism that can be offered to healthcare staff in this time of crisis.
WHY IT MATTERS
Stress
Healthcare workers have endured prolonged exposure to pandemic and work-related stress
Isolation
Healthcare workers are having similar experiences but cannot spend time together to process and share
Support
Healthcare workers are carrying an enormous burden and deserve the support of their colleagues and peers
