The Impact of the Pandemic on the Wellness of Healthcare Professionals and #Howtohelp - Jessi Gold, MD, MS

Overview

Covid-19 has had a tremendous impact on healthcare workers, from the day-to-day work environment, to increased risk for infection, to their mental health. This activity will focus on what we know so far about the mental health of frontline workers prior to and during COVID-19, and, how that, when put into context with what we know from past pandemics, can allow us to predict the possible mental health aftermath and risk factors for worsening outcomes. We will talk about the role of the institution in helping prepare for these outcomes as the pandemic becomes a marathon and not a sprint. And, as Dr. Gold is a very avid twitter user, this activity will have a specific focus on what individuals can do to advocate for themselves and their colleagues using social media.
