Dr. Nir Menachemi was scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the Riley Hospital Surgical Research Day. Given the pandemic, Dr. Menachemi was invited to be senior author on a keynote manuscript for the abstract book of research that was created in lieu of the in-person conference. The article he coauthored was: “THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC – AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW,”
While the pandemic has placed an unexpected burden on our health care system, it may serve as a catalyst for disruption. Dr. Menachemi shares: “It is essential that we view the current coronavirus crisis as an opportunity to improve for ourselves, our society, and our health care system. Now is the time to put our differences aside, fight a common enemy, expand the use of cost-efficient technologies, strengthen the public health infrastructure, embrace population health management, and promote the development of additional physician leaders that can work with others to tackle our generation’s greatest challenges.”
