Episode Synopsis

The Coronavirus crisis has presented unprecedented challenges for physicians. Retired doctors are back in their white coats helping on the frontlines while medical students are being allowed to practice before graduation, and community physicians are struggling to hold on to their practices as people avoid getting routine care. Keeping a sharp eye on all of it is Dr. Patrice Harris, president of the American Medical Association. As you'll hear in this conversation with Dr. Rishi Desai, Harris is a forceful advocate for protecting the safety of her members, basing policy decisions on evidence and making sure we fully understand the disparate impact COVID-19 is having based on race. And as a child psychiatrist, she also drops some wisdom for parents on how to talk to their kids about these unsettling times. If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels. You
