Walker Redd, an internal medicine resident at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, chats with Emily Gutowski, a 4th year medical student at Harvard Medical School, about what to expect as an incoming intern amidst the current COVID-19 pandemic. They talk through adjustments that interns may be expected to make as part of the care team, in addition to mindset changes that can be adopted early on during this state of flux. Moreover, they discuss virtual learning opportunities that rising interns - as well as current residents and attending physicians - can use to think through and practice end of life discussions, enabling humanism during this uncertain time.
