Residents, Attendings and the COVID Crisis

To Be a Partner in Life: Physician/Surgeon Training During the COVID-19 Pandemic by Joshua Horton

I’ve been pointing my colleagues to this article as a call for us (attendings) to be examples of courage, competence and caring during this epidemic.  We need to lead and teach by example first. 
By the time this is all over I believe that every healthcare provider will have got covid19.  Us old guys (45 yo) need residents to see us do one, so you can do and teach while we are down for a couple weeks.  And we can let the 60 years old ride the bench until things settle down and there is less of a resource crunch.

The original article on Medium has been taken down pending publication in an Otolaryngology journal.

This is a google cache link so people can read it until it is published
