Volume 116, Number 8 — August 2020
Road to Recovery: COVID-19 has been tough on Texas physicians. For this issue, Texas Medicine spoke to physicians on the ground about their experiences as they make their way back to business as not-so-usual. While some practices are surviving – and trying their best to prepare for future threats – others have not been so lucky. Those experiences align with the Texas Medical Association’s Practice Viability Survey in showing COVID-19 was, and still is, a disruptor unlike any other – challenging the viability of various practice types.
