Stoeckle Center Seminars, Lectures and Programs: The Stoeckle Center offers a wide variety of lectures, seminars and training programs to MGH and Partners practices.
The Cabot Primary Care Lecture Series
The Cabot Primary Care Lecture Series is a forum to discuss important aspects of primary care medicine, including patient-doctor communication, care of the underserved, community medicine, professionalism, quality of care, and health care policy. This academic year, the John D. Stoeckle Center for Primary Care Innovation will be planning several Cabot lectures. Details will be available very soon.
Stoeckle Center Seminar Series
The purpose of these education seminars, made possible by the generous donation of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Green, is to improve patients' experience of care and to enhance the professional lives of current and future generations of primary care practitioners. This monthly presentation and discussion series brings innovative ideas and best practices from within MGH and across the country to the MGH primary care community. The Stoeckle Center Seminars are held on the 4th Friday of each month. Breakfast begins at 7:30am; the presentation and discussion run from 7:45-9:00am. The seminars are videotaped and available upon request; please contact the Stoeckle Center.
Schwartz Center Rounds
The John D. Stoeckle Center for Primary Care Innovation co-sponsors the Schwartz Center Rounds. The Schwartz Center Rounds provide a unique forum where caregivers from diverse disciplines can discuss and reflect upon the emotional challenges of patient care. The sessions typically begin with a brief panel presentation of a patient case and the psychosocial topic of the day, followed by a facilitated discussion. Rather than simply focusing on the clinical facts of a patient case or problem-solving, Rounds give health care providers a safe forum in which they can talk about how they experienced certain situations. Popular Rounds topics at hospitals across the country include: delivering bad news; caring for a colleague; when cultural and religious beliefs conflict with medical advice; and dealing with spiritual crises in patients.
Patient Experience of Care Programs and Courses
The Stoeckle Center, in partnership with PCHI, (Partners Community Health Care Inc.) offers a wide range of courses for clinicians, managers and staff of all PCHI practices. We offer onsite training programs, webinars and online courses. CME and CEU credits are awarded for many of these courses.
