A new, streamlined process that makes it easier for staff to report instances of unprofessional behavior in the workplace launched on April 1.

You can learn more about the new professional conduct tool and other programs at Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital that offer professionalism support on BWFHconnect.

Mass General Brigham has teamed up with the New England Patriots and Boston Medical Center (BMC) on a vaccine video to inform Black and Brown community members that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective for preventing serious illness and death. The video features New England Patriots Matthew Slater and Devin McCourty, both of whom were hesitant to receive the vaccine until they learned the facts. Slater’s wife, Shahrzad Slater, MD from BMC, joins with O’Neil Britton, MD, Senior Vice President, Operations, and Associate Chief Operating Officer, Mass General Brigham, and Dr. Sebastian Hamilton from BMC to answer vaccine questions from Slater and McCourty. Watch the video to learn the vaccine facts from the experts.

Gene Beresin, MD and Khadijah Booth Watkins, MD, MPH, from the Clay Center for Young Healthy Minds at Mass General Hospital have developed materials for families that look at the different anxieties and concerns of kids and teens and how parents can address them as families prepare to return to school.
Many families have been homebound due to COVID-19 and kids and teens have been learning online across much of the country. As the pandemic continues, there are growing concerns about how the disruptions in norms and routines are affecting their mental health. In addition, as more communities are preparing to bring students back to school in person there are new challenges and concerns for families. Is it safe to go back? Will kids feel ready for a full schedule of in-person or hybrid learning? Will they be able to catch up academically?
