Collectively, physicians faced and/or continue to face a trauma related to caring for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, few family physicians have had the opportunity to collectively discuss this. During this session, our panelists will discuss their own experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and their coping strategies and the need for further exploration and support for family physicians.
