The pandemic has challenged healthcare providers globally as they strive to keep pace with increased demands for emergency care. Canada has faced severe shortages in PPE (personal protective equipment) and associations were already concerned about physician health and burnout before the pandemic started. How are Canada’s healthcare associations helping their members in this time of crisis?
