This week we asked you all to tell us about your experience of COVID, not only in the setting of the clinic, but also in all the ways it has made itself felt in your life.About The Nocturnists - Black Voices in Healthcare:After the murder of George Floyd in May 2020, we launched a new podcast series called “Black Voices in Healthcare”, hosted by Ashley McMullen, MD and executive produced by Kimberly Manning, MD. We believe that storytelling is a gateway to empathy and a vital first step on the path toward racial equity in healthcare. Over 200 Black healthcare workers from across the country have signed up to participate in this project. New episodes will be released every Tuesday from June 30th to September 1st, 2020.Support the show (https://tithe.ly/give?c=2509)
