Department of Medicine Grand Rounds: Rebuilding What We've Lost in Covid: A Perspective from the ICU

-

For our next Grand Rounds, Dr. Wes Ely of Vanderbilt University will describe the challenges being experienced by clinicians as they care for patients during the Covid pandemic. Focusing on the ICU, he will describe a scientifically proven method for resurrecting our humanism and dignity in the face of the myriad hardships posed by the pandemic. He’ll discuss the power of the human story in highlighting and addressing patient suffering, offer a strategy for rebuilding what was lost during the pandemic, and propose a path forward.

Speaker:

Wesley Ely is a Professor of Medicine and Critical Care at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he also serves as Co-Director of the Critical Illness, Brain Dysfunction, and Survivorship (CIBS) Center. He is the Associate Director of Aging Research for the Veteran’s Affairs Geriatric Research Education Clinical Center (GRECC) in Nashville, TN. Dr. Ely is the author of hundreds of articles in the scientific literature, as well as the 2021 book, Every Deep-Drawn Breath.
