Historically, this has been observed with other pandemics, such as the influenza pandemic, HIV/AIDS, SARS, H1N1, Ebola virus disease and, more recently, COVID-19. Research about physician wellbeing during prior pandemics has informed recent practices and provides more guidance on how larger health care entities can provide for employees and how physicians can care for themselves. Here, we explore best practices for emotional/spiritual wellbeing, physical wellbeing, maintaining a healthy family life and wellness during a virus outbreak.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Osteopathic Family Physician}, author={Tina Chuong, DO, MMS and Karen Lazarus, DO, MPH and Meera Shah, DO, MBA}, year={2021}, month={May}, pages={27–30} }
