PCP Open Access

Relational Response Initiative

PCP values the relationships between and among patients, healthcare providers, and staff on the frontlines who are working tirelessly to slow the spread of the COVID-19 and to do what they can to limit its impact. Over the last several months, PCP has re-engineered the ways in which we deliver our Relational Leadership curriculum in a variety of virtual formats. Please visit our Relational Response Initiative for content and resources designed to support healthcare professionals on the frontlines and medical students in transition because of the pandemic. We are also highlighting resources like those from the National Alliance for Mental Illness for anyone that could be facing urgent emotional crises.

 

In addition, we invite you to join the COVID-19: Providers & Patients Supporting Each Other Facebook Group, meant for those who greatly value the relationships between and among patients, healthcare providers, and staff who are giving their all to fight this pandemic.

Stories of COVID Global Initiative

In partnership with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, and with generous support from the Morris-Singer Foundation, we’re inviting everyone impacted by this pandemic — clinicians, staff, health professions students, patients, and family members — to share their personal perspectives and experiences. Share your Story of the COVID-19 Crisis.
