“…6 At the time of crises, physicians contribute to surveillance efforts and echo public health messaging to patients from clinics and hospitals. Collaborating in public health emergency initiatives may also offer insights and experiences that promote physician resilience during emergencies 7 and help to meet the needs of their patients, practices, and communities.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented challenge for this generation of physicians and for the health care system, has reawakened calls to strengthen the United States’ public health systems. This global event is also a “learnable moment” for medical education—an opportunity to decisively incorporate public health, including public health systems, through the continuum of medical education. Although medical educators have made progress in integrating public health content into medical curricula, “public health” is not a phrase that is consistently used in curricular standards, and public health colleagues are not identified as unique and critical partners to improve and protect health. The COVID-19 crisis has demonstrated how a strong public health system is necessary to support the health of patients and populations, as well as the practice of medicine. Partnerships between medical and public health communities, through individual- and population-based interventions, can also more effectively combat more common threats to health, such as chronic diseases, health inequities, and substance abuse. To achieve a more effective medicine–public health relationship in practice, curricula across the continuum of medical education must include explanations of public health systems, the responsibilities of physicians to their local and state governmental public health agencies, and opportunities for collaboration. Medical education should also prepare physicians to advocate for public health policies, programs, and funding in order to improve and protect the health of their patients and communities. Pandemic COVID-19 demonstrates with laser focus that all physicians are part of public health systems and that public health content has a distinct and essential place across the continuum of medical education to prepare physicians to participate in, collaborate with, and advocate for public health systems.

“…That said, regardless of context, first responders, planners, and community leaders need to be able to share information, in real time, at little cost. One suggestion for improving uptake of data, analytic methods, and knowledge in recovery planning is to employ a collaborative model that promotes information sharing structures among organizations, between organizations and individuals, across multiple levels and branches of government, and the private sector (e.g., through coalitions) (Madrigano et al, 2017). Specifically, the approach encourages building community outreach and engagement skills and develops expertise in translational science among the emergency management and public health workforce responsible for planning (Satterfield et al, 2009; Wells et al, 2013).…”

This paper highlights challenges and open questions pertaining to physical and social infrastructure system interdependencies and their implications for disaster response, recovery, and resilience planning efforts. We describe the importance of understanding interdependencies in disaster contexts and highlight limitations to existing approaches. Suggestions for understanding and addressing interdependencies focus on increasing availability of tools for assessing interdependencies and increasing stakeholder and decisionmaker uptake of infrastructure interdependency‐related information in planning efforts.

“…Researchers noted well before the coronavirus pandemic the need to establish a workforce with “more emphasis on population strengths (vs. vulnerabilities), organizational assets (resources, money, skills, and relationships), and sustainable development” as well as robust collaboration between neighborhood and community organizations, local governments, and professional organizations helping to support healthy communities including health‐care providers, law enforcement, social service providers, and faith‐based organizations (Madrigano, Chandra, Costigan, & Acosta, 2017).…”

Far from being an equalizer, as some have claimed, the COVID‐19 pandemic has exposed just how vulnerable many of our social, health, and political systems are in the face of major public health shocks. Rapid responses by health systems to meet increased demand for hospital beds while continuing to provide health services, largely via a shift to telehealth services, are critical adaptations. However, these actions are not sufficient to mitigate the impact of coronavirus for people from marginalized communities, particularly those with behavioral health conditions, who are experiencing disproportional health, economic, and social impacts from the evolving pandemic. Helping these communities weather this storm requires partnering with existing community‐based organizations and local governments to rapidly and flexibly meet the needs of vulnerable populations.
