After completing residency, Dr. Oh practiced as a general anatomic and hematopathologist for 10 years before becoming the medical director of a lab in a roughly 550 bed hospital with a level II trauma center, OB-GYN center, oncology center and busy emergency department. Providence Regional Medical Center Everett cared for the first COVID-19 patient in the United States, and Kirstine and the lab team were highly involved. After a brief lull following the patient’s discharge, the site became one of the first areas in the country to experience a surge in COVID-19 cases in March 2020. The 53 hospital system spanning Alaska, California, Montana, Oregon, Texas and Washington states has grappled with how to address the laboratory testing for SARS-CoV-2, both in the inpatient and outpatient setting.Support the show

In 2014, Dr. Baytop received her alma mater’s highest honor when she was named to the University of Florida College of Medicine Hall of Fame.She faced situations “that a professional would love to have.

We are joined by Dr. Paul Papanek, lead author of a newly released WOEMA guidance document titled “Workplace COVID-19 Outbreaks: Suggested Actions by Employers and Workers’ Compensation Carriers.” Sourced with the latest evidence, this document provides practical steps that employers can use to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks in the workplace. Access the guidance document here.As practitioners of occupational and environmental medicine, we speak the language of risk assessment and risk communication, public health measures for safe workplaces, and business continuity based on health and productivity framework. It became apparent in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic that an information gap existed between reasonable public health strategies to keep populations safe, and the employer community who sought this information from various, and at times, contradictory sources. Recognizing the role that occupational medicine physicians could have in bridging this gap, and acknowledging the hardships this pandemic had on employers large and small, the WOEMA legislative committee began a discussion around the question, what should employers do, when more and more of their workers contract COVID-19? Listen in to find out!Support the show

For practicing physicians, the Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020 has been an exercise in medical decision-making with incomplete, or at times, contradictory information.  A rapidly unfolding pandemic, with a novel pathogen exhibiting great mortality and morbidity, encouraged physicians to search for the best available information in service to their patients.  But what if the best available information during periods of medical uncertainly does not give clear answers or evidence is lacking?  What is a physician to do?  Dr. Andrew Luks, professor of pulmonary and critical care medicine at the University of Washington, joins us today to reflect on what physicians have learned about COVID pulmonology over 2020 and medical decision making in the face of incomplete information. Support the show
