2021: Looking back and moving forward

Happy New Year! Well, 2021 may not have been quite the year we hoped for, and 2022 is off to a bit of a rough start with the omicron variant.  But we’ve been fortunate to have some amazing guests on the podcast and we’ve learned a lot – we hope you have, too! In this episode, we follow up with experts from some of the episodes that really stuck with us. We get updates on COVID vaccinations for kids, vaccine mandates, long haul COVID, and trauma informed care. Wishing you all good health in the new year, and cheers to another year of EM Pulse!
