Addressing Faculty Emotional Responses during the Coronavirus 2019 Pandemic

Although the clinical impact of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) on children has been limited,1 many pediatric faculty are being affected by the increased risk of work-related infection, furloughs, and staff redeployments.2 There is potential collateral damage on faculty well-being. As an academic medical center located in New York, one of the first cities in the US to be impacted by COVID-19, the Children's Hospital at Montefiore redeployed faculty to care for adult patients with COVID-19, reorganized pediatric space to accommodate an increased pediatric and adult census, while serving as the only major pediatric inpatient service open in the Bronx.
