Course Description
The Washington Post asked readers to describe the year 2020 in one word. Readers described the year as chaotic, exhausting, surreal, relentless, and lost. But how do you capture the lived experience of the patient, the family members, and the healthcare workers who have devoted countless hours fighting a worldwide pandemic, one case at a time? When the pandemic ends, what will be remembered? This session provides an opportunity to reflect on the emotional toll of caring, to explore the ethical and social challenges facing society, and to discover how to move forward.
