How Will COVID-19 Change Medicine Forever? 

The disruptions to society created by COVID-19 have been impressive. The public has embraced the notion that we won't return to "normal" anytime soon, and when we do, the "new normal" will differ from the old in ways yet unknown. Similarly, COVID-19's impact on medicine has been disruptive in ways large and small. Some disruptions will produce lasting change. Although it's early to speculate on what those might be, there are early indications, such as telemedicine. 

 

We continue to rely on our frontline healthcare workers more than ever. We are forever indebted to you for your service. Stay safe and stay informed with the latest, evidence-based information to treat your patients.
