What was it like to face the morphing threat of a new infectious disease? How did we learn to take better care of each other, and ourselves? How are we feeling now? On March 11, we’ll hear from storytellers across the Americas region sharing their personal experiences responding to COVID-19. We invite you to share this event with your family, friends, and colleagues—anyone who has been part of your support network during this unprecedented time.
Our evening of reflection and storytelling will feature Dr. Michael Jaung, an emergency medicine physician with MSF-USA; Tatiana Chiarella, a nurse with MSF Brazil; and Dr. Mariana Gutierrez, a pediatrician with MSF Mexico. The event will be hosted by Dr. Emily Silverman, Creator of The Nocturnists. Dr. Silverman founded The Nocturnists in 2016 as a burned-out medical resident with a vision to inspire creativity, promote clinician wellbeing, and transform the culture of medicine. In March of 2020, The Nocturnists launched Stories from a Pandemic
, a documentary podcast series featuring audio diaries submitted by hundreds of frontline workers across North America. | |
