“…Even at elevated costs, some of the higher priced vegetables and fruits are bought. 30 Therefore, some infected people are not willing to leave the Fangcang shelter hospital even when they are cured. Even so, some confirmed SARS-CoV-2 patients or infected people are very resistant to being admitted to Fangcang shelter hospitals.…”

Background The Fangcang shelter hospital has gradually become the primary management mode in China’s fight against this Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in 2020. In early 2022, the Fangcang shelter hospital management model was successfully applied to the new outbreak of COVID-19 in Shanghai also. Although Fangcang shelter hospitals are no longer the prevailing mode of prevention of COVID-19, the management experience of Shanghai makeshift hospitals is worthy of reference for public health. Methods The authors conducted a descriptive statistical analysis of Hall 6-2 of the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center Fangcang shelter hospital. The whole hall of the Fangcang shelter hospital was managed by the one hospital, and the inclusion of third-party management personnel alleviated the shortage of medical personnel human resources. Through practice, a new procedure for treating batch infected people was introduced. Results By optimizing ward management, 72 on-duty doctors, 360 on-duty nurses, 3 sense-control administrators, and 15 administrators cured 18,574 infected people in 40 days, and created a record of a doctor managing 700 infected people without compromising the quality of treatment. There have been no deaths and no complaints from the infected people located in Hall 6-2 of the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center Fangcang shelter hospital. Conclusion Compared with previous data, the new management mode of Fangcang shelter hospitals provides a reference for the management of the new infectious diseases for public health.

“…3 Several student-led initiatives to combat the COVID-19 pandemic have been described in the literature. 3–7 Student response teams at various institutions volunteered to collect and distribute personal protective equipment, organize community mask sewing events, field phone calls from patients, conduct contact tracing, assist in laboratory testing and screening procedures, disseminate information to the public, streamline communication with administration, and develop curricula focusing on emerging infectious diseases and public health policy. Students focused on populations most vulnerable to COVID-19, including geriatric patients, launching initiatives to provide them with a continued sense of community during a time when they might otherwise feel isolated.…”

Trainees’ value as effective leaders within academic medicine has been increasingly recognized. From their perspective as adult learners who enter medical education from diverse backgrounds, trainees offer significant value to the teaching, learning, and practice of medicine. As such, trainees have developed and led various successful initiatives throughout academic medicine. In this Invited Commentary, 2 medical students with national leadership roles provide their perspectives on how student-led initiatives and advocacy can help push academic medicine forward. The authors first provide an overview of the success of student-led initiatives throughout medical education as evidenced by the Trainee-Authored Letters to the Editor in this issue, highlighting the unique contributions and perspectives of trainees in the development and implementation of new initiatives or ways of thinking. Although trainees add value to many areas in academic medicine, here the authors highlight 4 current areas that align with Association of American Medical Colleges priorities: (1) public health emergencies including the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) equity, inclusion, and diversity; (3) wellness and resilience amongst trainees and health care providers; and (4) recent changes to the United States Medical Licensing Examination and the transition to residency. By sharing their experiences with student-led initiatives within each of these domains, the authors provide lessons learned and discuss successes and obstacles encountered along the way. Overall, there is a critical need for increased engagement of trainees in medical education. Empowering trainees now ensures the academic medicine leaders of tomorrow are prepared to face the challenges that await them.

“…For example, Vick et al studied disaster response based on disaster plan development, on-site emergency response capabilities, available supplies and resources, disaster education and training, disaster preparedness funding levels, and disaster preparedness awareness ( 44 ). Maharaj et al explored medical facilities under the background of disasters, established the importance of hospitals in disaster management, and analyzed the conversion of ferries into hospitals to centralize patients in Italian after the COVID-19 epidemic, which had achieved better medical treatment and isolation and had a positive effect on the containment of the epidemic ( 45 – 47 ). He et al further constructed an epidemic prediction and emergency logistics network optimization model under the background of population movement ( 48 ).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the limitations of urban public health emergency response capabilities. Taking Wuhan as an example, this study used breakpoint regression, kernel density analysis, overlay analysis, and accessibility analysis from Stata and ArcGIS, and divided epidemic prevention facilities into the basic epidemic prevention facilities (hospitals), and the emergency epidemic prevention facilities (mobile cabin hospitals) for further analysis. The results showed that over 70% of the basic epidemic prevention facilities in Wuhan were located in high density population areas. On the contrary, most of the emergency epidemic prevention facilities were located in low density population areas. The local treatment effect of the implementation of the emergency epidemic prevention facility policy is about 1, indicating that there was a significant impact of emergency epidemic prevention facilities on outbreak control, which passed the bandwidth test. What’s more, the analysis of the accessibility of residential points revealed that more than 67.3% of people from the residential points could arrive at the epidemic prevention facilities within 15 min, and only 0.1% of them took more than 20 min to arrive. Therefore, the epidemic prevention facilities can effectively curb the spread of the epidemic, and people from residential areas can quickly get there. This study summarized the spatial characteristics of epidemic prevention facilities in Wuhan and analyzed the importance of them, thus providing a new perspective for future research on upgrading the city’s comprehensive disaster prevention system.
