Core stories of physicians on a Swiss internal medicine ward during the first COVID-19 wave: a qualitative exploration

CONCLUSIONS: Our study deepens the understanding of how physicians experienced the pandemic both in their professional and personal settings. It offers insights into how they prepared and reacted to a pandemic. The foci reflect topics that are inherent to a physician's profession, whatever the context. During a pandemic, these foundational elements are particularly challenged. Strikingly, these topics are not studied in medical school, thus raising the general question of how students are prepared for the medical profession.PMID:38642026 | DOI:10.57187/s.3760
