Postbac Premed Program alumnus Ben Oseroff '20, currently a med student at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, recently published an article in Havard Medical School Review about hospital delirium during COVID-19. Informed by his experience as a Hospital Delirium Program volunteer at the Mount Sinai Morningside campus in New York City, his viewpoint explores the challenges in treating delirium during COVID-19 and how an increase in delirium might extend the impact of the pandemic. Oseroff wrote: "As we move past the early phase of the outbreak, hospitals and postacute care facilities should prioritize adapting existing best practices to treat delirium and manage its long-term effects. Virtual technologies may have a role to play as part of a temporary solution but are unlikely to be sufficient long-term."
