Physician Family Series
Understand what medicine brings home — and face it together.
Watch. Reflect. Discuss. Practice.
WellRounds is an evidence-based guided series that helps physicians and their partners understand — and talk about — the emotional impact of life in medicine.
What is WellRounds?
A complete guided series for medical families
WellRounds gives medical families a structured way to understand what medicine brings home — and learn how to face it together. Each module combines a brief expert-led video, guided reflection, discussion questions, practical exercises, and evidence-based tools participants can start using today.
Everything needed to facilitate a group or complete the series independently is included. Modules can be completed individually, but WellRounds comes to life as a shared experience: gather, watch, reflect, discuss, and leave with something practical to try.
Who we serve
- Physicians & trainees
- Spouses & partners
- Medical families
- Residency programs & hospitals
Developed by Sarah Grimmer, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, and Samuel Grimmer, MD, Emergency Physician.
An introduction to the WellRounds experience
How it works
Watch. Reflect. Discuss. Practice.
Ten guided conversations about the human side of medicine. Everything you need is included — for a group or for independent use.
Step 2
Reflect
Guided worksheets and prompts help each person make the topic personal before the conversation.
Step 3
Discuss
Discussion questions turn the module into a shared conversation — in a group, with a partner, or on your own.
Step 4
Practice
Leave with a practical exercise to try before the next gathering, so the learning continues at home.
Two ways to begin
Start a WellRounds group — or complete the series on your own
WellRounds comes to life as a shared experience, and every material you need to go independently is included too.
The intended experience
Start a WellRounds Group
Choose the series. Gather a group through your workplace, institution, or at home. Watch a module together, reflect on the topic, discuss it, and leave with something practical to try.
The facilitator guide makes it possible for an alliance leader, wellness coordinator, counselor, physician spouse, or other group organizer to lead the series without needing clinical training.
Also fully supported
Explore the Series
Prefer to move through the material independently? Use the same videos, worksheets, discussion questions, and practices at your own pace — as an individual or a couple.
You still get the complete package: expert-led video, guided reflection, discussion questions, practical exercises, and evidence-based tools you can start using today.
