Drew Watson, MD, MS, joins host Nate Milburn, MD, MBA, on a special episode of the AMSSM Journal Club Podcast to apply knowledge of several articles toward a common issue we’re all experiencing — COVID-19.

It has been an unusual year for all healthcare providers, and there have been some additional, unique issues that have presented themselves in the sports medicine world. The majority of this episode focuses on what the pandemic has inflicted on the physical and mental wellbeing of patients and how sports medicine physicians can guide them back safely to activity.
