Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic demanded remarkable creativity, innovation, and change from clinicians. How can we leverage the insights and lessons learned from working during COVID-19 to transform healthcare work going forward? And how can we create meaningful change in a broken American healthcare system?

This webinar featured insights from two studies of healthcare work during the pandemic. Researchers were joined by a health care journalist and a clinical ethicist, both of whom are clinicians, for a discussion about the future of healthcare work, including real-world steps healthcare organizations can take to better support their workers.
