EPID@Work Member & Lakehead professor’s research could prevent burnout in health-care workers fighting COVID-19

Research undertaken by EPID@Work member, Salimur Choudhury, could help prevent burnout in more than a million health-care workers around the world as they assist patients who have become ill with COVID-19.

“Workforce shortage is the number one problem in health care globally,” said Dr. Salimur Choudhury, an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at Lakehead University whose graduate student Mahzabeen Emu was recently awarded a $15,000 Mitacs research internship for the next four months.
