Join us for our weekly Virtual Town Hall for Providers during COVID-19, Thursdays from 6-7 p.m. MST

In this, our 10th COVID-19 podcast, we will have a case discussion around functional and high-yield adult medicine topics that might be useful for pediatricians helping to care for adult patients in the middle of this pandemic.

You can go back and listen to our previous coverage on the COVID-19 Pandemic on Season 3 of the podcast.

Today we are fortunate to be joined by Dr. Aaron Manning and Dr. Steven Humphrey.

Steven is a pediatric hospitalist at Children’s Hospital Colorado and Instructor of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Aaron is also a pediatric hospitalist at Children’s Colorado and is Assistant Professor of Hospital Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
