A Letter to Internal Medicine Residents Serving on the Front Lines of the Pandemic: We see, hear, and feel you

There are many professions that deserve recognition for the selfless work of frontline COVID-19 clinical care: nurses, respiratory therapists, technicians, laboratorians, physical and occupational therapists, fellows, among others. Each of you deserves an emphatic word of thanks. But this letter is written to honor the internal medicine residents who have been providing clinical care on the wards, in the clinics, in the ER, and in the ICU – not just to people with COVID-19, but to our patients. As a versatile specialty that includes outpatient primary care as well as hospital service, internal medicine has been particularly exposed to the trials and tribulations of the pandemic.
