My summer plans include a lot of bike riding!
I wanted to circle back to this thread to share another newly published AAMCNews article,
"Great escapes: Doctors and nurses find respite from pandemic fatigue." Thanks for writing this,
@Patrick Boyle! While I'm not a doctor, I know I've definitely found joy and relief from COVID-19 stress through a new fitness routine (aforementioned biking!), and am curious what hobbies or routines others have picked up during this time.

Subject: Doctor's orders: Go on vacation!
Research studies have consistently demonstrated the health benefits of taking a vacation. For providers on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially, the need to step away from work is essential to their stress recovery and overall well-being. [Read in AAMCNews how one hospital's physician-in-chief and self-appointed travel agent ordered staff to take a holiday.]
What are your summer vacation plans?
