PCOM Perspectives: Working on the Front Lines of COVID-19

This episode features a discussion with Dr. Erik Polan, assistant professor in the Department of Internal Medicine, PCOM Transitional Year Program Director, and core faculty for PCOM Internal Medicine residency. Most recently, Dr. Polan has been working on the front lines in the fight against COVID-19 with internal medicine residents at Roxborough Memorial Hospital . Our discussion explored what life has been like for Dr. Polan and his residents; the unique challenges this public health crisis presents; tips for the general public to reduce the risk of infection; and what the future of healthcare may look like post-COVID. We also discussed ways the PCOM community can support and keep each other safe during this time.
