As BU scrambled to build a COVID-19 testing lab from the ground up last spring, its scientific director, Catherine Klapperich, tapped trusted help for an endeavor fraught with unknown safety risk: her former student and current colleague Lena Landaverde (ENG’13,’17), assistant director of the College of Engineering’s Precision Diagnostics Center.
“Since May 2020, Lena has been my equal partner” in the Charles River Campus Clinical Testing Laboratory, wrote Klapperich, an ENG professor and vice chair of biomedical engineering. “She is my hands in the lab and on the ground while I work largely virtually. She took personal risks to be in the lab [last] spring when we did not know how dangerous working with or near SARS-CoV-2 might be. Her courage, tenacity, creativity, and intellectual quickness and flexibility match or exceed anyone I have worked with at BU in 18 years.”
A roadmap for critical care societies to address burnout among health care professionals
A new paper published online in the
Annals of the American Thoracic Society provides a roadmap that critical care clinicians professional societies can use to address burnout. While strongly needed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the roadmap has taken on even greater urgency due to reports of increasing pandemic-related burnout.
In Professional Societies Role in Addressing Member Burnout and Promoting Well-Being, Seppo T. Rinne, MD, PhD, of The Pulmonary Center, Boston University School of Medicine, and co-authors from a task force created by the Critical Care Societies Collaborative (CCSC) describe a rigorous process they used to document 17 major professional societies efforts to address burnout among health care professionals working in critical care, such as ICU physicians, physician assistants and nurses.
