Episode 16: 2020 year in review
At the very beginning of the pandemic, there was a big outpouring of support through social media outlets and other avenues online between training programs throughout the country. So it was kind of almost a national level of collaboration for continuing access to training in a way. It will be good to see how we continue to use it in the coming year. —Jason Fisher, MD
