What is Really Critical to Medical Education? - Dr. Lawrence Chin, Dean, College of Medicine at SUNY Upstate Medical University

Dr. Lawrence Chin loves telehealth and sees it as a positive byproduct of the COVID-19 pandemic, for providers and patients alike. Still, he admits, “You can't learn to be a doctor virtually...it is a social job.” In steering 500 faculty members and over 700 students through the COVID crisis, Dr. Chin and his team have had to re-evaluate what is truly essential to delivering a high quality medical education. Join him as he speaks with host Shiv Gaglani about the shift to online learning, the lasting changes COVID is making to the medical curriculum, providers as role models of compassion, and why he believes now is one of the best times to enter the medical field.
