April 2023: Interprofessional Issue
Prompt: "COVID-19: Three Years Later"
We want your reflections on the impact COVID-19 has had on your personal and professional growth, now that we are more than three years into the pandemic. How have your didactic education, research, clinical learning opportunities, and/or professional and personal relationships been affected, both at the start of COVID and now? What have you missed, and what have you gained? Where do we go from here?
