BONUS: Inside a COVID-19 Field Hospital

<p>The Baltimore Convention Field Hospital was established in the spring of 2020 by the state of Maryland, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Maryland to fight COVID. A few weeks ago, <strong>Dr. Josh Sharfstein</strong> was invited inside the 100,000 square foot field hospital’s command center to meet with Director <strong>Dr. Jim Ficke</strong> and Deputy Director <strong>Dr. Chuck Callahan</strong>. He also speaks with <strong>Dr. Mindy Kantsiper, Dr. Sophia Purekal, Dr. Zishan Siddiqui, John Fickel, and Laura Wortman</strong>. They talk about what the last year has been like, how lessons from the military-inspired design and logistics, and how this field hospital now responds to COVID on four fronts: testing, patient care, monoclonal antibody treatment center, and vaccinations.</p>
