American Association for Respiratory Care
Karen Schell: I believe there will be a shortage of health care workers. There will be those who reach burn out early, due to the strain of caring for critical patients, being asked to do more, and finding enough equipment to meet their needs, and will leave the field earlier than normal.
The need for well educated, qualified, skilled health care providers. Respiratory Therapists are already in great need among the health care community. With the pandemic, our therapists are being called to the front line and their expertise is needed. We see the complex care required for the care of these patients is difficult to deal with physically and emotionally on our therapists. I see burnout, stress, and emotional safety taking a toll on those being called to serve.
