Needs Assessment: “The key thing in life is whether you take things for granted or with appreciation.” – George K. Chesterton

The COVID-19 epidemic has altered the landscape. Almost every part of our life has been impacted. Life moves on, and how we care for it does as well, as DOs learn to adjust and adapt. Whether in person or electronically, providing care for patients persists. Evidence-based treatment is crucial, but so is compassionate care, regardless of the discipline of medicine or how it is provided.

Learning Objective: Upon completion of this seminar, attendees will have a greater awareness of various illness processes involving multiple medical areas, as well as their treatments, whether offered in-person or remotely.
