Lonnie Shea: -Hospitals and companies have suffered from a decrease in elective procedures, while healthcare resources have been directed toward COVID treatment. Certain areas, such as diagnostics and PPE, have been especially active and will likely see an increase after the current crisis subsides.
-The demand for healthcare will continue to increase, and, of course, the pandemic has put a huge emphasis on certain sectors. This impact may be transient, but it may last several years. Overall, there will be a renewed emphasis on detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of viral diseases, as well as the offering of healthcare in a pandemic environment. BMEs are well placed to help meet these needs.
-We do not yet know what the mid- to long-term effects of the pandemic on human health will be. We expect there will be some, and BMEs are good people to address these issues from an engineering perspective
-We expect there will be more remote job interviews and more remote jobs. Virtual design and testing will also become more prevalent, though we doubt it will supplant physical prototyping and testing (at least for a while).

Bioethics Institute
Dr. Gianna McMillan: Bioethics is multidisciplinary -- so a "bioethicist" can work anywhere. Disease-specific organizations need patient advocates, health literacy experts, and community organizers, as do local and state public health services. Clinical ethics (on-site at hospitals) requires a lot of training, but some ethics committees need non-scientists and community representatives. Research is done at most major hospitals, and there are large teams of research analysts and administrators to handle the paperwork and the ethical review of each study. There are good entry-level opportunities there.
