The rural health care crisis and medical education
Decades of job loss, the opioid crisis, and the current pandemic have all shaken the already tenuous health care system of rural America.

Study outlines steps to prepare patients for elective surgery following COVID-19
Acknowledging that COVID-19 may be here to stay, Oregon Health & Science University has laid out a series of steps to prepare patients for elective surgery following their illness.
The evaluation, outlined in a commentary published in the journal
Perioperative Medicine, is believed to be the first published protocol laying out a COVID-era path forward in American medicine. We think this is groundbreaking, said senior author Avital O Glasser, M.D., associate professor of medicine (hospital medicine) in the OHSU School of Medicine. We are hoping other clinics and surgical centers can use this to keep their patients safe.
