First, let me wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving. Though we may not be celebrating this holiday as we have in the past, there is still much to be thankful for.
This week I attended the virtual Association of Academic Medical Center’s 2020 (#aamc2020) Annual meeting. I want to highlight the four themes that permeated the sessions I attended. These are 1) community collaboration; 2) Anti-Racism; 3) Covid-19 Lessons Learned; and 4) Medical Education.
Books are vital to understanding ourselves and those around us. Use this month as a starting place to read stories and compilations by indigenous authors and expand your understanding of Native American history.
Please join Countway Library and the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine for a book talk and panel to celebrate Paul Farmer's latest work, Fevers, Feuds and Diamonds.
First, our upcoming Holiday Party will be a virtual event this year. It has been a difficult and challenging year for everyone and we hope the party will be a way that we can take a breather from work and just enjoy each other’s company as we prepare for the winter holiday break.
As I mentioned in an earlier message, October is the month in which we celebrate the valuable role medical libraries play in supporting the academic health sciences enterprise.
