Â鶹AV Alumni Webinar: COVID-19: Thinking beyond the immediate crisis
The COVID-19 pandemic has taken countless lives and shaken our communities to their core. What long-term impacts and consequences will the crisis have on our health care systems? How can health care leaders navigate this new reality while restructuring the delivery of care in an abruptly transformed health environment? Given that this pandemic is the seventh international health crisis in only 20 years, what lessons can we learn, and how can we bolster our health care systems so that they are more resilient to a future crisis?
Join three prominent Â鶹AVians and authorities on global health - Dr. Joanne Liu, Dr. Madhukar Pai and Dr. Don Sheppard - as they offer their unique perspectives on the crisis and hypothesize on what happens next. This webinar will be moderated by Anudari Zorigtbaatar, a Â鶹AV medical student.
Space is limited. The link to view the webinar will be sent after registration.
