Duke Medicine physicians, nurses and other providers of all disciplines are invited to attend the fourth of a planned ongoing series of presentations and discussions, called the Schwartz Center Rounds, about the human side of patient care.
The next event in the series will be held Mon., Dec. 17 from 12-1 p.m. in Duke North 2002. The topic is The Stresses of Working with Smart and Opinionated Dying People and Their Smart and Opinionated Families. Lunch will be available beginning at 11:45 a.m.
Schwartz Center Rounds is a monthly interdisciplinary conference that offers clinicians a regularly scheduled time during their fast-paced work lives to openly and honestly discuss social and emotional issues that arise in caring for patients. An initiative of the Schwartz Center for Compassionate Healthcare, the rounds take place at 250 sites in the U.S. and U.K. including many of Duke's peer institutions (Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham & Women's Vanderbilt, Mount Sinai, Emory, Cleveland Clinic and UNC-Chapel Hill). We are excited to be bringing this program to Duke and hope many of you will join us.
Please contact Lynn O'Neill, MD (lynn.oneill@duke.edu) or Lynn Bowlby, MD (lynn.bowlby@duke.edu) with questions. There is no need to RSVP, but we do recommend that you arrive early as food and seats are at a premium.
