Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has led many of us to re-evaluate our approaches to disaster management, reflect on our experiences, and be reminded of the strong resolve for our work. This article details a resident's perspective on redeployment of surgical residents to the COVID-19 frontline setting, using the example of the COVID-19 intensive care unit. Redeployment during a pandemic brings the unique opportunity to collaborate with colleagues on the frontlines and learn alongside one another about the evolving management of this disease. During this ongoing pandemic, it is incumbent upon us as clinicians to work together in a multidisciplinary manner and reflect on ways this pandemic impacts the delivery of patient care.
