Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine (CBSSM)

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought scarce resource allocation and crisis standards of care to the forefront of national consciousness, in which “the goal is to ‘gracefully degrade’ services to the minimum degree needed to meet the demands, maintaining the maximum patient and provider safety”. In this session, a panel of speakers who care for children and pregnant patients will push the boundaries of our contemporary understanding of crisis standards of care by exploring the concept outside of the adult care setting.
Cosponsored by The Dept. of Pediatrics
